Every county in the New York City metropolitan area swung towards Trump compared with four years ago .

The Bronx , which has a large Latino population, saw the largest swing towards Trump in the state.

In 2020 , Joe Biden won 83% of the vote there in 2020 , compared with Trump ’s 16% this time round.

National and local issues both played a part in the swing, then although something more fundamental may also have played a role.

“Obviously, Trump was running on an anti-immigrant message and, of course, Kamala Harris was the actual embodiment of an immigrant she’s the daughter of a south-east Asian mother and a Jamaican father,” Kleinberg said.
