President Biden won Colorado in 2020 with more than 55% of the vote, while Trump received nearly 42%.
In 2016, the gap narrowed further, with former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton winning more than 47% of the vote in the state and Trump winning more than 44%. When President Obama flipped the state blue in 2008, he won with about 54% of the vote, while the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) got about 45%.
