context_page_description: The 2016 United States presidential election in Kansas was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Kansas voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.
  On March 5, 2016, in the presidential primaries, voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Republican parties' respective nominees for president.
  Donald Trump won the election in Kansas with 56.16% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 35.74% of the vote. Kansas was among the eleven states in which Hillary Clinton outperformed Barack Obama's margin in 2012, largely due to a significant shift towards Democrats in Johnson County.
