Where are you getting your data from?
NYS 2016 Hillary: 4.5 million (59.38%) Trump: 2.8 million (36.75%)
NYS 2020 Biden: 5.2 million +0.7 mil (60.87% +1.49%) Trump: 3.2 million +0.4 mil (37.74% +0.99%)
Overall a blue shift in NYS. Did you add working family party votes to the total (and I think biden also got other 3rd party lines in NY that year) or just raw dem votes? NYS has fusion voting so raw dem votes are not the total votes received - candidates run on and receive votes from multiple lines. *edited to make formatting look a little better

It's a 4% increase in gop votes and a like 0.75% increase in dem votes - bc of weaker 3rd party candidates. Hawaii only sees like 500k voters a cycle so small changes can make a big difference. Biden gained 100k votes (266k->366k) in the state while trump gained about about 68k (128k->196k)- but due to the breakdown and fewer 3rd parties that translates to the above changes.
