In Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s (D-NY) district, slews of voters elected her to a fourth term but also voted for President-elect Donald Trump. The congresswoman took to Instagram to seek answers on why voters split their tickets.

Ocasio-Cortez easily won reelection, and Vice President Kamala Harris also won the state’s 14th Congressional District, which includes parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn. However, Trump overperformed in various Democratic strongholds. In 2020, President Joe Biden won the Bronx by 68% and Brooklyn by 55%, while Harris only won the Bronx by 45% and Brooklyn by 43% Tuesday.
