President Trump lost the popular vote in New York City to Joe Biden by 53 points, an expected rout in his hometown, but he did in fact improve on his 2016 performance against Hillary Clinton, who defeated him in the city by 61 points.
An analysis by
Politico indicates that support for Trump in 2020 rose in almost all assembly districts in the city relative to his 2016 performance. And in some districts, the swing was dramatic: the heavily Latino state-assembly district 86 in the Bronx, for example, swung almost 21 points in Trump’s favor. Assembly district 35 in Queens, which partly overlaps with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s own congressional district, swung toward Trump by 18.7 points.

Sen. Schumer asks Biden’s housing secretary pick to prioritize ‘woefully underfunded’ NYCHA Chris Sommerfeldt
New York City’s public housing agency needs “significant new investments,” Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told Preisdent-elect Joe Biden’s housing secretary nominee Thursday.
The pandemic has worsened the New York City Housing Authority’s financial straits, Schumer told Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), who Biden tapped this week to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
On a video call, Schumer told Fudge that crippling budget woes have kept NYCHA from keeping up with renovating its apartments across the city. © Courtesy Chuck Schumer
