Description

WOBURN, MA — President Trump's loss in Massachusetts on Tuesday was in line with his performance in 2016. With 70 percent of estimated votes reported, his share of the vote has fallen from 33 percent to 31 percent. So how did Trump's support in Woburn compare with his vote totals in 2016, when he was running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? According to unofficial results from the city clerk, Trump gained votes in Woburn in 2020, but lost vote share. In 2016, he earned 8,342 votes in town, compared to 8,464 votes in 2020. He won 39.9 percent in 2016 and 37.5 percent in 2020, in line with the statewide trend. Not every community in Middlesex County broke for Biden. Trump squeaked out wins in Ashby and Dracut, where he bested Biden by a mere 110 votes, according to unofficial results. Tuesday's vote climaxed a heated battle for control of the White House, unfolding during a pandemic that killed nearly a quarter of a million Americans before Election Day. As of Wednesday afternoon, the election remained too close to call, with multiple key states still counting votes.
