The shift to the right also brought gains for the state’s embattled Republican Party on Beacon Hill – a rarity in a presidential election year. Since 1984, only one Republican has flipped a state during a presidential election year, according to MassGOP Chairwoman Amy Carnevale. On Tuesday, the state party flipped three.

With 94 percent of Massachusetts precincts reporting as of Wednesday afternoon, Trump had received nearly 36 percent of the commonwealth’s vote, compared to about 32 percent in the 2020 election against President Biden.

The maps below show where the strongest support for each candidate came from at the city level.

He led with majority support in 75 of the commonwealth’s 351 cities, some of which leaned significantly toward Trump.

40 percent of Lawrence voters chose Republican, nearly doubling his vote share from 2020. In Chelsea, 30 percent chose Trump, an increase of nine percentage points from 21 percent in 2020. Both Lawrence and Chelsea are majority Latino cities (82 percent and 67 percent, respectively).

Harris found her strongest support in eastern Massachusetts, winning 76.9 percent of the vote in Boston, 87.6 percent in Cambridge and 84.4 percent in Somerville, the latest results show.

College towns also voted overwhelmingly for the vice president: 87.9 percent in Amherst and 85.2 percent in Northampton.

In Norfolk, Matt Johnson was among the 41 percent of voters who went for Trump on Tuesday.

Johnson, 36, has never voted in a presidential election before, he said, but his family urged him to take part this year.

“They say every vote counts,” he said. “I think (Trump) would be a better choice.”

Johnson said immigration in particular has had a greater impact on him this election season, particularly with the migrant shelter that opened this summer in a former prison in Norfolk.

“I feel like a lot of (the migrants) come here and get food stamps, housing and all that stuff that should go to other people who live here,” Johnson said. Johnson also said he hoped Trump could help reduce inflation and prices of goods like food.

Louis Murray, a 59-year-old insurance agent from West Roxbury, voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and again on Election Day.

This year, however, he said he was even more confident Trump would win.

“Nobody could do what Trump did today,” Murray said. “Only Trump could motivate people like me across the United States.”

Regardless of how reliably blue Massachusetts typically votes in national elections, Murray said Trump has more support in the state than many would think.

“I got ‘thumbs up’ all day,” he said.

Due to incorrect data from the AP, an earlier version of the story reported an incorrect number for Harris’ vote share in Bridgewater.
