The 2020 United States presidential election in Virginia was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the 2020 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Virginia voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump, and running mate Vice President Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his running mate California Senator Kamala Harris. Virginia has 13 electoral votes in the Electoral College. Prior to the election, all 14 news organizations considered this a state Biden would win, or a likely blue state. On the day of the election, Biden won Virginia with 54.11% of the vote, and by a margin of 10.11%, the best performance for a Democratic presidential candidate since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. Additionally, Biden became the first Democratic nominee to win Chesterfield County and Lynchburg City since 1948, Virginia Beach City since 1964, James City County since 1968, and Stafford County since 1976. The diversification of Northern Virginia as well as sliding suburban support for Republicans allowed Biden to win the once-key battleground state without actively campaigning in Virginia. Biden won suburban Loudoun County, Prince William County, and Fairfax County with 61.9%, 62.8%, and 70.4%, respectively, also winning government workers by 18 percentage points. Additionally, he won Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, and Arlington counties by a total of more votes than he won by in Virginia overall. This election, Virginia weighed in as 5.7% more Democratic than the nation as a whole. Although Virginia was considered a reliable Republican-leaning state from 1952 to 2004, and even up until 2006, it has not voted Republican in a presidential election since 2004, and it has not elected a Republican to any statewide office since 2009, largely due to migration into counties in Northern Virginia close to Washington, D.C., which has tilted these densely populated areas towards the Democrats. Additionally, this was the first election since 1988 that a presidential candidate won Virginia by double digits, when Republican George H. W. Bush won the Commonwealth by 20.51%. This is also the first time that any presidential candidate received more than 2 million votes in the Commonwealth of Virginia, even though the Democratic nominees had won more than 1.95 million in each of the last three elections. Virginia was one of sixteen states where President Trump received less percentage of the vote than he did in the 2016 election.
