Why minorities voted for Donald Trump in New York — leading to the best showing for a Republican in a generation
NY Post ^ | November 6 2024 | Kevin Sheehan, Georgett Roberts and Chris Nesi

President-elect Donald Trump made huge gains with black, Hispanic and young voters in New York this election — bringing him closer to turning the deep-blue state red than any Republican candidate has come in a generation.

Trump siphoned off significant support from all three reliably Democratic voting blocs, culminating in a historically poor showing in the Empire State for Vice President Kamala Harris, who won just 55.8% of the vote statewide.

Broken down demographically, a portrait of the Democrats’ colossal failure becomes painfully clear.

Abbott busing illegals to NY put the border crisis in their faces. That had a LOT to do with minority support for Trump

One analysis I saw was that the people living paycheck to paycheck went Trump in a big way.
And paychecks do not know race or gender.
He won some places no Republican had won in decades because of “the economy, stupid”.
It allowed him to win the popular vote AND the EC...so that potential line of attack on his legitimacy goes away.

Trump is a New Yorker through and through.

I can't tell you how upset I was seeing BLM written in huge letters in the street in front of Trump Tower by the Dems in Power. The Dems cause chaos and blame it on Trump. The Dems are disgusting.

All minorities are not the same, Hispanics don’t want the victim label and a lifetime of government oppression. They fled from that they want merit and to compete for their future. The Republican Party isn’t about blame and victimhood.some minorities including women understand that finally.

It’s a start. Now the election system in NY has to be cleaned up. I know for a fact that at least one deceased person voted! How many more tens of thousands of illegal votes still foul the system? Last governor election saw 334,000 more votes than registered voters in NY state.
