What contributed to Trump's better than average performance in NYC?

This means that Biden while winning NYC still is worse than in Kerry 04, Obama 08 and 12, and Clinton in 16.

Is New York more Hispanic than other big cities?

[VPH]

Depends on the borough.
NYPD: Staten Island, parts of Queens
Minority shift: Northern bits of Manhattan and the Bronx
Orthodox Jews: Brooklyn
NY Post: No clue
Cuomo nursing homes: Probably not a huge factor

27 percent may not seem like a lot but it is quite diverse. The 2 dominant hispanic groups in NYC is Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. Although there is a central american/colombian/Mexican community in Queens.

Staten Island was the only borough not to swing R, probably because Biden was a relatively good fit for White Catholics.

Nonwhite R swings also explain much of Brooklyn and Queens. I’d say #1 is part of #3 considering that NYC probably has a lot of more recent Jewish immigrants
