New York Is Now A Swing State:

Here’s What Republicans Should Do To Make It Go Red In 2026

• There’s an eleven point spread between Harris and Trump’s received votes in New York. This has shrunk from four years ago when Biden won by 23.1 points. The last time a Republican presidential candidate received this high of a percentage in New York was George H. W. Bush in 1988, and not since Ronald Reagan in 1984 has a Republican presidential candidate won the state.

• Trump won 44.2% of New York in 2024, up from 37.74% in 2020, up from 36.75% in 2016.

• 45% of New York Jews voted for Trump in 2024, up 15% from 2020, per Fox News exit polls.

• Trump received 30.45% of the votes in New York City. 

• Trump improved by 22% in the Bronx and Queens and 11% in Manhattan compared to 2020.

There were signs leading up to Trump’s win that New York was in play. It was visible in 2022, when gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin got 30.2%, the highest vote percentage for a Republican since Governor George Pataki in 2002. 

Trump’s court appearances in Manhattan backfired on the Democrats; they boosted his image amongst young black men who’ve been exploited by a broken system. Trump’s visits to the bodega in Harlem, the Bronx for a rally, a construction site in Midtown Manhattan, capped by Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden nine days prior to Election Day, resuscitated dejected New York City residents and recruited those historically ignored by political parties. 

Increased turnout to support Trump in Gotham signaled to the rest of the state - if it’s happening at Ground Zero of liberal lunacy, it’s fucking happening. 

Because every city and state became a “border town” under Biden/Harris, every city and state became a “swing state.” 

Trump’s gains in New York City are a referendum. New Yorkers don’t want illegals, Islamists, financial abuse, and “woke.” 

Taking a deeper look, New Yorkers rejected mainstream media, headquartered in Manhattan. Citizen journalists became the modern-day Paul Revere. They delivered real news on illegals installed in Manhattan’s iconic Row and Roosevelt hotels. They uploaded videos of Venezuelan gang members terrorizing tourists, women, and police in Times Square. They uploaded onto social media Islamist uprisings in the educational complex, like Hillcrest High School. They shared footage of the total disintegration of quality of life in traditionally safe and wealthy zip-codes. New Yorkers rejected and mocked celebrity endorsements, calling out the bullshit.

New York Democrats are in disarray. Far-left politicians that support jihad have consumed, corrupted, and crippled the Democrat party. Rather than do some massive soul searching, they’ve learned nothing from their loss. Governor Hochul said New Yorkers who vote for Republicans are “anti-American” and “anti-woman.” New York AG Letitia James says "We are prepared to fight back.” What is she talking about? Who is she fighting, the people? Trump won the presidency, the popular vote, the Senate majority, the House majority, and the swing states he needed to carry.

Here’s a recap of what one party Democrat rule has done to New York:

• Mass import 210,000 illegal aliens

• Install illegal aliens in “free” luxury Manhattan hotels.

• Kick out American kids from schools and sports to make space for illegal alien kids.

• Push to have non-citizens vote.

• Give illegal aliens cash debit cards.

• Encourage student jihadis.

• Encourage Islamists to criminalize.

• Refuse to arrest, prosecute, imprison based on “social justice.”

• Mandate experimental FDA unapproved vaccines.

• Shut down schools, work, and businesses.

• Force DEI & CRT in public and private sector.

• Wreck education.

• Import transnational criminal organizations.

• Trample parental rights.

• Sexually exploit children.

• Ban gas stoves.

• Punish working class with congestion tax.

Here’s what needs to happen now in New York City:

• Mass deport illegals, starting with babies and children born or brought here illegally. They’re the biggest economic drain and prime recruits for criminal gangs and jihadi activities.

• Set up a task forces to deport Tren de Aragua.

• Ban DEI and CRT from schools and the public sector.

• Ban gender-affirming care for minors.

• Mandate the Pledge of Allegiance and a traditional civics curriculum.

• Replace statues and monuments of historic Americans and Founding Fathers removed by woke tribunals.

• Initiate public discussion on whether there’s a need for myriad public office jobs. For example, many of New York City Mayor Adams’ inner circle have been raided by federal authorities or resigned. Who is running New York City? Many positions are useless, in fact, harmful, and a noose on the taxpayer.  Why do we need the 51 member NYC Council, Borough Presidents, or Public Advocate? People in the private sector can compete for contracts.

There are so many opportunities right now for the America First movement and for New Yorkers. They’re nascent and fragile with a short runway. There can be zero mercy or olive branches extended to Islamo Marxists. We’ve seen that hellscape and barely survived. Now is the time to crush the enemy, and the enemy is anyone against the Judeo-Christian American ethos.
