Why Trump made inroads in the Democrats’ urban strongholds
Cities never sleep, but neither does Donald J. Trump. That might explain why he managed to make inroads in the most unlikely of places. Trump’s gains in the Big Apple were able to do some damage to the Democrats’ star candidate and helped contribute to his popular vote win. “Kamala Harris won New York City by a thirty-seven-point margin, far shy of the nearly fifty-four-point margin of victory that President Biden held over Donald J. Trump in 2020,” Dana Rubinstein and Stefanos Chen wrote in the Times. So how did he do it? It depends on who you ask.
