Biden Best-Performing Democratic Cancidate in Alaska Since 1964

President-elect Joe Biden will finish the 2020 vote count with a larger share of Alaska’s presidential vote than any Democrat since Lyndon Johnson won the state in 1964, according to Anchorage Daily News.

Despite that, Biden will still lose the state by almost 10% to President Donald Trump, who earned a larger share of the state’s votes this year than he did in 2016.

In the presidential race, Trump has received about 53% of Alaska’s votes, compared to under 43% for Biden.

By Tuesday night, 99.3% of Alaska’s estimated 360,000 ballots were counted, and turnout had already set a record for most ballots cast.
