New York City solidly Democrat
Joe Biden was always expected to win New York, which Hillary Clinton won handsomely in 2016, with 4,556,124 votes (59.01%) to Trump's 2,819,534 (36.52%).
The last Republican to win the state was Ronald Reagan, back in 1984. Trump of course is a son of New York, having been raised in Queens, but the city has turned its back on him. Trump too has gone cold on the Big Apple, moving his residence to Florida.
