context_page_description: The 2016 United States presidential election in New York was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participated. New York voters chose 29 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The Republican Party fielded businessman Donald Trump for President and Indiana Governor Mike Pence for Vice President of the United States, while the Democratic Party fielded former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for President and Virginia Senator Tim Kaine for Vice President.
  New York State remained a blue state, with Hillary Clinton winning with 59.01% of the vote, while Donald Trump received 36.52% of the vote, a 22.49% Democratic victory margin. However, Donald Trump won the county vote, taking 40 counties state wide to Hillary Clinton's 17. Clinton received a smaller vote share than outgoing President Barack Obama had in 2012, while Donald Trump improved upon Mitt Romney's performance despite losing the state by a large margin.
  New York was the home state of both major party nominees, though Clinton was born in Chicago.
