More Asian Americans voted for Donald Trump this election than in 2020, according to an exit poll by NBC.

This year, 38% cast their vote for the Republican candidate, up from 34% in 2020 when he faced Joe Biden.

Still, the majority of Asian American voters — 56%, as per both NBC and Washington Post exit polls — backed Kamala Harris, albeit five points below the support they threw for Biden (61%) four years ago.
