2016 United States presidential election in South Carolina

The 2016 United States presidential election was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. South Carolina voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. Out of 3.12 million registered voters, 2.10 million voted, a turnout of 67.86%. Trump continued the Republican tradition in South Carolina, carrying the state with 54.9% of the vote. Clinton received 40.7% of the vote, underperforming Barack Obama's 2012 performance by about 4%. Trump became the first Republican to win the White House without carrying Charleston County since Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. As of 2024, this is the last time the Democratic candidate won Clarendon and Dillon counties.
