2016 to 2020 Presidential Election Swing in Philadelphia
The 2016-2020 swings in Philadelphia are the most interesting aspects of these elections, as they are a microcosm of the national tales.
As can be seen from the Ward results, Northeast Philadelphia, South Philadelphia, and Eastern Kensingtton-Bridesburg-Richmond, heavilly White working class saw swings towards Trump of varying degrees.
In addition to that, the Gentrified and Gentrifying areas of Center city, and the Northern parts of West Philadelphia and Southern and Western parts of North Western Philadelphia sa a decent swing towards Biden.
However, the most talked about swings, those in the area between Northwest Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, Kensingtton-Bridesburg-Richmond and Northeast Philadelphia, the greater than 14% Latino swings are most talked about.
And rightfully so I might add, as the national effect of latinos swinging right made up the bulk of the reason that Philadelphia swung 3% towards Trump in 2020.
However if the swing lasts, or too what extent is still undetermined, as there have been multiple resuts in 2020 that suggest that urban Latino partisanship will remain at arround 2020 numbers for the forseable future
