Fall River and New Bedford are working class cities with large ethnically Portugese populations. While the white working class broadly shifted to the Dems in 2020, this was not the case in many areas such as Ohio and Appalachia where Biden lost further ground in ancestral D counties like Elliott. Seems like Pprtugese Americans behaved like ultra Orthodox Jews or Latinos in swinging towards the Republicans. Meanwhile the towns with the most massive swings towards Democrats are extremely wealthy suburbs of Boston reflecting growing strength among white educated voters.
