Areas that were red in 2016 just got deeper red or expanded in 2020 showing higher turnout for Trump this year. Although the city was overwhelmingly blue, all across the five boroughs there were tens of thousands of more votes for the Trump.
And the South Bronx showed the highest jump with one district covering Hunts Point, Mott Haven, and Melrose showing 2,500 more votes this year for the president than in 2016.
The South Bronx went from a deep blue in 2016 to most districts showing a higher vote for Trump in 2020. And over in one particular district which covers the Clocktower expansion luxury apartments where rents go as high as well above $4,000 a month, Trump went from 15 votes in 2016 accounting for 3% of the total to 60 votes accounting for 11% of the total.
While we canโt say for sure that it was the gentrifiers in that particular district that voted for Trump, the only change since 2016 in that area are the gentrifiers who have moved into several new luxury developments including 190 luxury units at The Crescendo and several dozen more nearby.
Love is one thing, ballot box is another. You know some families vote democrat every time because “we always have”.
Sometimes I wonder who even knows what’s going on in NY City electoral politics.
If I recall correctly (and someone correct me if I’m wrong) in 2020 it literally took weeks for NYC to finish counting the vote due to typical bureaucratic bloat and stupidity and the results we saw were simply extrapolated.
The Hood loves Tangerine Man.
hochul wrecked Dems in NY.
Gonna be EPIC
Roll MAGA, roll!
