NEW YORK (WABC) -- Election results are in for New York City, and one borough stands out as successfully picking the president-elect.



The overall results for the five boroughs overwhelmingly picked Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with 79 percent of the vote.

But the results, while consistent among four boroughs, nearly flip-flopped between Clinton and Republican nominee (and now president-elect) Donald Trump on Staten Island. There, Trump secured the majority with 57 percent of the vote and Clinton getting 40 percent. In Queens, the borough where Trump grew up, 20 percent of voters showed their support for the businessman.



The Bronx showed the most support for Clinton, with 88 percent of voters casting their ballot in favor of the female candidate. Manhattan was second with 86 percent of votes being cast for Clinton.
