The numbers have been crunched, and Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District supported then-President Donald J. Trump in the 2020 election more than any other district in the United States.
Daily Kos, a left leaning political website, has been conducting a calculation of the presidential election results broken down by each of the nation’s 435 congressional districts.
On Tuesday, the results were released for AL-04, showing that the rural Yellowhammer State district “gave Donald Trump both his highest percentage of the vote and widest margin of victory in the nation” in November.
Trump defeated now-President Joe Biden by an 81.23%-17.81% margin.
This comes after Trump also trounced Hillary Clinton in 2016, that time by an 80%-17% rout.
“[T]he result is no surprise: In 2016, Trump also earned his biggest share of the vote nationwide in the 4th, though his net margin was just a touch higher in Texas’ 13th,” Daily Kos added.
AL-04 is represented by the dean of Alabama’s House delegation, Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville). He has served the district in Congress since first being elected in 1996.
His home of Winston County, as it did in 2016, saw more than 90% of its vote share go to Trump in November, as did Blount County with an even higher 91.27%. Additionally, Marion County with 88.55%, Cherokee County with 88.47% and Cullman County with 88.28% came in especially supportive of Trump in the Fourth Congressional District.
Daily Kos also revealed the 2020 presidential results in each of Alabama’s six other congressional districts on Tuesday.
In Alabama’s First Congressional District, Trump beat Biden 63.69%-35.29%.
That margin was slightly wider in AL-02: 63.89%-35.14%.
Trump routed Biden in the Third Congressional District, 65.29%-33.72%.
Moving up to AL-05, that gap was 62.73%-35.65%.
In the Central Alabama AL-06, Trump garnered 67.03%, compared to Biden’s 31.76%.
Biden won Alabama’s Seventh Congressional District by a wide margin, capturing 70.79% to Trump’s 28.48%.
Those numbers are broken down by congressional district, county and even precinct here.
