If the county's unofficial results hold, Trump would take Nassau by nearly five percent over Vice President Kamala Harris. He received 355,000 votes or 51.8 percent, with all Election Districts in, according to the county Board of Elections website.
By comparison, in the 2020 matchup, Trump got 326,000 votes for 44.7 percent of the county electorate. President Biden received 396,000 votes, according to Politico.
