Hello, everyone!
A new analysis has revealed that Asian voters in NYC leaned right instead of their typical left.
For instance, in the race between victorious Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin that took place in the Asian-majority 40th Assembly District in Flushing and Bayside, Queens, Zeldin carried. He also beat Hochul in the heavily Asian 47th and 49th Assembly districts in Brooklyn.
One voter cited safety as the primary concern for their Republican vote. “Safety is my top priority. The crime rate is growing too dramatic on the streets of Chinatown. What the Republican Party put forward is to solve the problem of public security and high crime,” they said.
