In the DMV, I'd also honourably mention:

Frederick County, MD: never went Dem for president between 1964 and 2020, and Harris did nearly as well as Biden. Also helped to keep a supposedly competitive open congressional seat blue, by a not-that-close 6 points district-wide. (Fun fact: this is the first presidential race since 1860 in which a Republican won nationally but not in Frederick County.)

Virginia Beach: same as Frederick County in 1960s-2010s presidential voting. Biden flipped and Harris (narrowly) held the state's largest city and second largest jurisdiction, after Fairfax County. However, Jen Kiggans kept it and her district red for the House.
