AOC’s home base is seeing red.
Far-left Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents swung toward President-elect Trump in Tuesday’s presidential election by one of the largest margins citywide.
In 2020, 77% of voters in AOC’s congressional district, which covers parts of the Bronx and Queens, cast their ballots for Joe Biden, while Trump secured just 22%, according to an analysis of voting records by the progressive news outlet Daily Kos, which used the current district lines.
That 55-point gap was nearly halved this week, with Vice President Harris securing just under 65% of the ballots cast in NY-14 to Trump’s 33%, according to unofficial city voting records and the Daily Kos data.
The once deep-blue city saw a roughly 15-point swing overall toward Trump from 2020, with Harris garnering about 68% of the votes compared to a little over 30% for the Republican nominee.
“Like the rest of the country, New York City saw a big shift rightward on Election Night as voters soundly rejected the Biden-Harris-AOC record of inflation, open borders, and radical progressivism,” New York State GOP spokesman David Laska told The Post.
The far-left firebrand’s own outer-borough district notably overlaps with Bronx neighborhoods such as Throgs Neck and Schuylerville, which elected City Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato, the first Republican to hold public office in the borough in nearly two decades.
“Everyone sees AOC as a darling of the left, and coming from a district that reflects those politics,” said Democratic strategist Jake Dilemani. But the part of the borough she represents is “one of the most conservative parts of the Bronx,” he added.
Her sprawling district also includes sizable Latino and Asian populations, two groups that have recently shifted rightward and were crucial to Trump’s success, GOP political consultant Ryan Girdusky suggested.
“If you look at the trajectory of how ethnic whites, Asians, and Hispanics are voting in New York City, they are rejecting the Democratic Party on quality-of-life issues like crime and the migrant crisis, and they are blaming it on the Dems,” he said.
Other congressional districts in the Big Apple that saw significant swings toward Trump included Rep. Grace Meng’s NY-6 in Queens, which includes the heavily Asian neighborhood of Flushing, and Rep. Ritchie Torres’ majority Latino NY-15 in the Bronx, voting records and the Daily Kos analysis show.
On Wednesday, AOC took to Instagram to blame sexism and Trump’s appeal to working-class voters as reasons for Harris’ loss.
“We have had an enormous setback in this election because the fascists won a lot of working-class support, which has happened before in history,” she said.
AOC’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment.
