In this red California county, Biden beat Trump by just 14 votes. What happens next?
The last time rural Inyo County backed a Democrat for president was in 1964, when voters chose Lyndon B. Johnson.
But in 2020, Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. By 14 votes.
Considering Trump carried Inyo County by 13 percentage points four years earlier, it was quietly one of the most dramatic red-to-blue flips in the country.
While California almost certainly will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump, once deep-red Inyo County — home to some 19,000 people between the Eastern Sierra and Nevada state line — is a tossup.
