Nope.

You’ll notice Upstate NY hasn’t gone anywhere, either.

Many states have these sorts of splits, between their cities and other parts of the states.

Illinois would lean Republican, except for Chicago.

Michigan would do so as well, except for Detroit.

PA would as well, except for Phila and Pittsburgh.

Virginia had become more Democratic in recent years, due to growth in the Washington DC suburbs. Most of the remainder of Virginia is much more conservative.

Many states have such political differences in different regions of the state.

More's the pity.

I'm in Upstate. You could chop off that tumor growing out of the lower east part of the state, make it its own state, and the rest of the original state would be a lot better off.
