Asian American voters are gradually drifting toward the ********** Party in state and nationwide elections amid increasing frustration with left-wing education policies and growing GOP outreach efforts.
The New York Times highlighted the shift showing **********s gaining ground with the expanding voter bloc in nationwide contests since earning a recent low of 18% support in 2016, when former President Donald Trump won election.
Trump, for his part, rebounded considerably with the Asian American community, earning 30% of their support in his 2020 reelection bid. **********s expanded on those gains to earn 32% from the demographic in the 2022 midterms.
In more localized contests, the trend is more pronounced. Texas ********** Gov. Greg Abbott managed to win a majority of Asian American voters in the state for his 2022 reelection bid, earning 52% support to ********ic challenger Beto O’Rourke’s 46%.
Former New York GOP gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin, meanwhile, won Brooklyn's Sunset Park Chinatown, an area that had long been a ********ic bastion.
The outlet attributed much of the change to the Asian American community's discontent with ********ic Party policies on crime and education issues. Proposals to abandon meritocratic admission methods to elite schools do not appear to sit well with a community that traditionally performs well in those metrics.
The Times further called attention to a growing class divide that appears to transcend race in terms of its implications for political affiliations. While the college educated increasingly skew toward the ********s, white working-class voters have overwhelmingly backed the GOP. That divide appears to translate to both the Asian American and Latino communities.
