NY's result does not surprise me. Even though it voted overwhelmingly for Biden, I can tell you anecdotally that I saw way more Trump banners, stickers, lawn signs, etc., than I did for Biden. This might be due to the palpable fear that was in the air of the possibility that Trump supporters would somehow retaliate against Biden supporters, however real or imagined it might have been.

Its a bit shocking how many trump, let’s go branden and #fjb banners are out in the rural areas of upstate NY. I even saw a #fjb store the other day. The idiot cult is strong.

The more likely reason is that trump has cultivated a cult of personality whereas Biden hasn't. There's a reason why Jan 6 rioters were unironically waving both Trump and American flags while trying to overturn a legitimate election

NY and Florida's congressional districts were gerrymandered in favor of Republicans. If it wasn't for that, it would have been a complete ass whooping
