Don’t forget us minorities! Net 20 point swing among both asians and hispanics. Little Bangladesh—note that bangladesh is literally a socialist country—in Queens, NYC swung a net 55 points to the right.

Digressing a bit: is there any correlation between Bangaldeshi-Americans preferences in US politics (Democrats vs GOP) and their preferences in Bangladeshi politics (Awami League vs BNP vs Yunus)? Or are those largely orthogonal dimensions?

I think as between AL and BNP it’s idiosyncratic to the person. Our oldest family friends (BNP) became big Trump supporters during his first term, but that’s just a couple of data points. I think Yunus supporters are almost always Harris supporters, though. Either too young to know how this story will play out, or boomerlib who thinks this time will be different.
