The outlet found that in Phoenix, Harris won Latino precincts by around 23 points over Trump. However, it was a steep 12-point drop from the margin won by Biden four years ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even in San Francisco, a longstanding left-leaning city, Harris saw losses in her home state. This was reportedly primarily seen in predominately Asian precincts as the vice president only saw more votes compared to Biden in a handful of areas, while Trump gained more than 6,000 votes than he did in 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looking at nearly 3,000 precincts in six cities, including Philadelphia, Atlanta, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Phoenix, and Las Vegas,<em> Politico <\/em>also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/11\/23\/city-turnout-black-hispanic-neighborhoods-00191354\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">found<\/a> a major shift from the Democratic Party toward Trump within these regions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In around 476 predominantly black precincts, meaning regions where at least 85% of the residents identify as black, Trump saw gains of nearly 3,400 votes compared to the last election. Harris still won some of these cities. However, she failed to secure the gains needed to offset Trump&rsquo;s newly found support. Compared to the votes received by Biden in 2020, Harris lost around 17,500 votes in these precincts &mdash; around a 6.1% drop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Similar trends were also seen in predominately Hispanic precincts, as Trump saw gains of around 1,300 votes while Harris lost around 4,100 compared to 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With these traditionally Democratic-leaning regions starting to put their backing toward Trump, some have begun to wonder where the left losses will end.
