In a state that's home to Hollywood, tech titans and Silicon Valley, it's no wonder its politics were so vividly on display during the run-up to the 2016 election.
It wasn't that Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton were particularly popular candidates with the Golden State's voters.
But as the country's largest state and with its growing clout on the federal stage, its progressive tendencies are increasingly being absorbed by the nation.
