The longtime Republican Party bastion of Orange County voted for a Democratic candidate for the first time since 1936, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected for his second term. The historic loss represents a growing uphill climb for Republicans in California; the party saw registered Republicans in California drop to 26% from 29.8%, ultimately losing Orange County by almost 5%.
