Trump's steady rise in votes from 21.6% in 2016 to 37.3% in 2024 reflects a growing conservative sentiment in Queens, emphasizing public safety and economic issues.
Republicans in Queens see Trump's gains as indicative of a broader shift where local residents prioritize public safety and economic well-being, moving away from extreme social issues.
Vickie Paladino attributes the rightward shift to the 'far-left' faction of the Democratic party, stating that current Democrats face challenges in future elections.
Paladino noted, 'We've always been a liberal place, but Democrats took a hard-left turn under DeBlasio and never looked back,' reflecting discontent with the current Democratic leadership.
