Orange County produced President Richard Nixonwho was born here in Yorba Linda and retired to San Clementeand Orange County last voted for a Democratic president in 1936 with FDR. But dissatisfaction with Donald Trump and changing demographics in the region have challenged Republican dominance in and around Orange County.
