The political campaign signs along Suffolk County roads declared: “Suffolk is Trump Country.” And, indeed, in last week’s election, Suffolk County was Trump country — as was much of the United States.

That’s an increase from 2020, when Trump bested Democrat Joe Biden in the county by 232 votes, and 2016, when he won by 46,619 votes in Suffolk County over Democrat Hillary Clinton. I’ve written about outcomes of elections on Long Island for decades, and ... by Karl Grossman
