In areas like New York and New Jersey, Trump managed to reduce the Democratic margins\u2064 considerably. For instance, in\u2062 the New York\/New Jersey\u200d metropolitan areas, Trump gained substantial support from Latino men, with their backing increasing from\u2062 36% to 54% since the\u200d last\u2062 election. The article highlights Trump&#8217;s remarkable \u200cperformance in New \u2063York, where he lost to\u2063 Kamala Harris by only 11 points, a substantial improvement\u200b from his previous losses. Notably, Trump flipped counties\u200c such\u200b as Nassau and Rockland, \u2064which \u200chad\u2063 not\u200b supported a\u200d Republican presidential candidate since 1988.<\/p>\n<p>In New York\u200b City, particularly in immigrant-friendly boroughs like Queens\u200b and the Bronx,\u2064 Trump also saw\u200c a rise in support, directly attributed to\u2062 his\u2063 outreach efforts. In New \u200dJersey, \u2063Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-official-caitlin-clarks-critics-no-longer-have-a-leg-to-stand-on\/\" title=\"It&#039;s Official: Caitlin Clark&#039;s Critics No Longer Have a Leg to Stand on\">performance improved significantly<\/a> in Bergen County and Hudson County,\u200c highlighting a notable decrease in votes for Harris compared to \u200cBiden. The piece emphasizes that the Democratic losses, particularly among minority voters, signal\u200b challenges for the party\u200c moving forward. the \u200darticle suggests that\u2062 these shifts indicate a\u200d potential political realignment in the Northeast in the context of Trump&#8217;s increasing appeal\u200d among diverse voter groups.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Hispanic shift toward Trump drove his momentum in Northeastern Democratic strongholds<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1875252\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The presidential election showed a decisive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3221234\/the-red-wave-delayed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">red shift <\/a>across the country, including across blue strongholds, as President-elect Donald Trump bested Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=washington+exsminer+kamala+harris&amp;rlz=1C5GCCM_en&amp;oq=washington+exsmi&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggAEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg7MgYIARBFGEAyDwgCEAAYChiDARixAxiABDIGCAMQRRg5MgYIBBBFGDsyBggFEEUYQDIGCAYQRRhAMgYIBxBFGEDSAQgzMzYzajBqNKgCALACAQ&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Trump cut into Democratic margins in blue strongholds in the New York\/New Jersey metropolitan areas, where Republicans have often floundered. A combination of issues, such as a lack of turnout for Harris, helped Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But changing Republican demographics also likely drove the shift. Latino support for Trump, particularly among men, boomed in comparison to 2020. According to NBC News, support for Trump among Latinos went from 32% in 2020 to 45% in 2024, a 13-point gain. For Latino men, it went from 36% to 54%.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP leader also made gains among Asian voters from 34% support in 2020 to 38% in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>New York was likely a prime example of where these gains paid off. Trump lost to Harris by just 11 points after losing to Hillary Clinton in 2016 by about 22 points and President Joe Biden in 2020 by 23 points, respectively. He had shifted the state 10 points to the right for the strongest presidential performance in the state since 1988 with 44% support and won several counties that he failed to in either of his previous runs.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, Trump won Long Island&rsquo;s Nassau County, which had been untouchable for Republican presidential candidates since 1988. He also flipped Rockland County with a 14-point shift to the right from 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, and most notably, Trump shifted much of New York City to the right. That was most felt in Queens, where Harris won by 23 points, about half of what Biden won it by in 2020. Trump also picked up considerable support from the Bronx. Both of those boroughs are immigrant-friendly areas that reflected Trump&rsquo;s gains among minority voters.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had taken plenty of time during his Manhattan trial to visit the Bronx and Queens, and it appears to have paid dividends for him.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s impossible not to see that last night&rsquo;s national defeat was also very much a NY story,&rdquo; Democratic Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/go.politicoemail.com\/?qs=6530482bb9cc0d11a703c374537fa92542953dd094a2952b3dd8496673a0c244ab424ec87c2a8648e48c87bbb93319ef8200086aafcdcada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>. &ldquo;This was our state&rsquo;s worst presidential result since 1988. We lost ground in almost every NYC neighborhood &amp; every demographic. To say a major reckoning is due is an understatement.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While some of the margins had to do with a lack of turnout for Harris, Trump gained about 30,000 votes in Queens alone. Voters were coming out for Trump in New York&rsquo;s urban areas.<\/p>\n<p>That sentiment spread to New Jersey, a state Trump lost by 5 five points. In the most populous county in the state, Bergen County, Trump came within 4 points of beating Harris. That made the county 13 points more Republican than in 2020, albeit mostly due to about 60,000 fewer votes for Harris than the last election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>That <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">lesser turnout trend continued<\/a> in Union County, where Biden netted about 30,000 more votes than Harris did. Trump gained votes from 2020 in both counties. Other populous counties such as Monmouth and Middlesex added to the trend, offering a pathway for Trump to make the state competitive.<\/p>\n<p>One of the more stunning examples was Hudson County, which is around 41% Hispanic, and where Biden won by 46 points in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>Harris won it by 28 points, the lowest margin for a Democrat since 1992. She hemorrhaged votes that Biden had captured to the tune of about 50,000, while Trump gained around 10,000. Her losses there seem to have a lot to do with Hispanics leaning toward Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Democratic Party talks about helping the poor, but if you talk about Hudson County, it&rsquo;s segregated and the working class, and the liberal enclaves are basically the people who are supporting Wall Street in the places they can&rsquo;t afford the rent. There&rsquo;s no affordable housing,&rdquo; Jose Arango, Republican Party chairman of Hudson County,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/11\/06\/new-jersey-swing-state-red-00187965\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> told<\/a> <em>Politico<\/em>. &ldquo;All that together, it was like a hurricane.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats are taking the losses in New Jersey as a warning sign.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is a symbolic victory. I don&rsquo;t think any offices go along with symbolic victories for Republicans by cutting it close in New Jersey,&rdquo; Democratic strategist Dan Bryan told the outlet. &ldquo;That said, Democrats need to take this extremely seriously by looking at whether this is an individual one-off or if there is something deeper and more systematic.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Outside of New York and New Jersey, Trump made gains in Connecticut and Rhode Island, cutting the Democratic margin from 2020 down 7 and 8 points, respectively. While the Northeast saw considerable gains for Republicans, no state offered more evidence for Trump&rsquo;s gains among Hispanics than Florida.<\/p>\n<p>In previous Democratic stronghold Miami-Dade County, Trump shifted the electorate to the right by almost 20 points. That led to a blowout 13-point win for Trump in the state.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And while the Northeast didn&rsquo;t contribute to Trump&rsquo;s presidential win as vitally, it certainly showed the reverberations emanating from a shifting Republican demographic that elected Trump while Harris faltered.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They came from all quarters,&rdquo; Trump said in his Florida victory speech. &ldquo;Union, non-union, African American, Hispanic American.
