DC Election Results: Biden Wins District; Norton Re-Elected

WASHINGTON, DC — Unofficial results show that voters in the District overwhelmingly supported Democratic Party candidates in Tuesday's General Election. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris pulled in 212,542 votes compared to the 12,802 garnered by their Republican opponents, President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Incumbent Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) defeated seven challengers Tuesday, to be the District's delegate to Congress, a seat she's held since 1990. Unofficial results show Holmes Norton pulling in 190,201 votes. Her closest challenger was Libertarian Patrick Hynes, who garnered 6,649 votes.

In the race to fill the Ward 2 seat on the D.C. Council, incumbent Brooke Pinto (D) unofficially defeated three challengers with a total of 14,816 votes, according to the D.C. Board of Elections.

Pinto had won the Democratic Primary on June 2 to represent the party in Tuesday's election. Then on June 16, she won a special election to fill former Council Member Jack Evans' seat, after he stepped down in January amid an ethics probe.

Robert White (D) received 92,061 votes Tuesday, which earned him the at-large seat on the D.C. Council.

Other Democrats winning on Tuesday included Vincent Gray, who ran unopposed in Ward 7; and Trayon "Ward Eight" White, who pulled in 17,609 votes in the Ward 8 D.C. Council race.

District voters also overwhelmingly approved Initiative 81, the Entheogenic Plants and Fungus Measure on a vote of 148,620 to 46,116.
