Supporters celebrate Trump victory at Rockefeller Center and Trump Tower

President-elect Donald Trump made huge gains with black, Hispanic and young voters in New York this election — bringing himTrump 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.Harris, meanwhile, picked up 64% of the Hispanic vote, a 10-point drop from President Biden’s 74% from four years ago.

Additionally, Trump snapped up support from 43% of New York voters under age 30 in 2024, compared to a little over half who threw their support behind Harris, according to the data. “I think she wasn’t able to connect with the Hispanic and black vote in the Bronx. I’m Hispanic and she had trouble connecting with me,” he told The Post.“Look at the economy, look at the border, look in Manhattan, where you have hotels full of migrants with more rights than us,” he added.

“We call it a skill gap. It means one side does it better and the business, or the win, goes to them. Whatever your skill, that makes you look better than the other person. That’s how we describe it in our culture. The Bronx voters, they saw the skill gap between Kamala and Trump, absolutely,” he said.

She never connected with young New Yorkers, like me,” Brendan told The Post in Harlem.“Trump said he’s going to send them back. I want him to send them back, especially the ones who are hurting people,” he said.
