U.S. Democrat Hillary Clinton has won Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Vermont, and the District of Columbia while her rival Republican Donald Trump has captured Oklahoma.
Clinton was awarded Massachusetts’ 11 electoral votes, 10 from Maryland, 14 from New Jersey and three each from Delaware and the nation’s capital, giving her 44 for the night. Trump picked up seven from Oklahoma, giving him 31.
Vermont has voted for a Democrat every election since 1988, while Kentucky has gone Republican every cycle since 2000.
The results on Tuesday were not surprising. Massachusetts and the District of Columbia are two of the nation’s safest Democratic strongholds.
The last time Oklahoma went for a Democrat was 1964, when it voted for Lyndon Johnson. Maryland last went for the GOP in 1988.
New Jersey has been a safe Democratic state for 20 years. Its governor, Chris Christie, is a close Trump ally but is saddled with low approval numbers.
