Tuesday's general election was a resurgence for former president Donald Trump and the Republican Party, which clinched critical races all over the country - including in Brooklyn, though the borough remained largely blue.
Trump won in six Assembly districts in southern Brooklyn as neighborhoods like Sheepshead Bay, Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Borough Park, Gravesend, and Bensonhurst went red.
Kalman Yeger, a Democrat who ran unopposed in AD-41, similarly ran on the Democratic, Republican, and Conservative party lines. Yeger earned 17,818 votes on the Democratic line, and a combined 17,583 on the Republican and Conservative lines.
Three of the southern Brooklyn Trump-supporting districts elected Democrats to the Assembly, though two straddle party lines.
