Harris wins New York but margin narrows in 2024 presidential election
Vice President Kamala Harris won New York in the 2024 presidential election, securing 4.3 million votes to Donald Trump's 3.4 million. However, her margin of victory was significantly smaller than previous Democratic candidates, at 55.8% to 44.2%. Trump's performance improved, as he received over 40% of the vote, the highest for a Republican since 2004. He flipped five counties that Biden won in 2020, with notable shifts in Nassau and Suffolk counties, which swung heavily toward Trump. Harris maintained support in major Democratic strongholds but underperformed compared to Biden, especially in New York City. The final vote count will be certified in a few weeks, with New York's electoral votes set to be cast in December.
