Three weeks after the election results swung in Trump’s favor, a small inroad was revealed in the Two Bridges precinct. As of Wednesday, with 99% of votes counted, Trump’s 16-vote margin among fewer than 500 votes case is the first time Trump won any precinct in his hometown.

Two Bridges borders Chinatown, where the Chinese population is over 60% according to census data. The median age is 44, which is 8 years older than the city’s overall median. Additionally, the median annual income stands out as $25,000, which is four times less than the city’s median.

Trump made New York City a focus during his campaign, and while it did not pay off in any electoral votes, it helped him perform better in the city. He won almost 27% of the vote in the Bronx, compared to his 9% there in 2016. While Harris won roughly 81% of Manhattan’s votes and 68% of New York City’s votes, she underperformed Joe Biden in 2020 in every borough while Trump improved from his last bid.

A week before Election Day, Trump made his third major stop in New York City for a rally at Madison Square Garden. Speakers included X owner Elon Musk, UFC CEO Dana White, podcast host Tucker Carlson, former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

The last time New York elected a Republican for president was in 1984, when President Ronald Reagan was reelected. Reagan also made a campaign stop in the deep blue Bronx ahead of his first win in 1980, which Trump mimicked with two events in the same borough.
