Mikaela Widlanski, a Manhattan resident, displayed her Trump flag at a post-election march, stating, 'If they're upset, it's not my fault.' This encapsulates the stark political divide and the surprising gains Trump made in liberal New York City.
Election results showed Trump gaining momentum in New York City, with nearly 100,000 more votes compared to his previous runs, highlighting a shift in voter sentiment that progressives found troubling.
While Kamala Harris won the city by a significant margin, her vote count dropped by nearly 600,000 compared to Biden's numbers in 2020, signaling a weakening liberal hold on the city.
The areas where Trump made the most gains in New York City included neighborhoods with large low-income and immigrant populations, challenging the progressives' narrative on immigrant rights and social equity.
