but they (well, the men at least) shifted more towards Trump in the 2024 election...so maybe NYC is just an outlier?
Trump and Mamdani both acknowledged yesterday that they share voters. (There are even street interviews of NY-ers who vote for AOC for Congress and Trump as President on the same ballot.)
The president also mentioned his awareness of Bernie Sanders voters who shifted to him in 2016 onwards.
It’s shared populism and acknowledgment of grievance.
Steve Bannon says if the Left runs with it nationwide, it’s alarm bells for GOP.
NYC is full of illegals. Including the mayor
I suspect Trump’s greater popularity now, with younger men, is due largely to his attitude that dark day in Butler PA. People I talk with usually comment positively on Trump’s “badass” status since that event. Even apes recognize and respect personal courage.
I would say the older generations don’t really understand just how poorly educated my generation is. Your kids, your grandkids, may be exceptional, but for every 1 of them there are 99 ignorant and indoctrinated.
