Latinos, Shifting Toward Trump, Land at the Center of the 2024 Campaign

Former President Donald Trump’s growing support among Latino voters is threatening to upend the coalition that has delivered victories to Democrats for more than a decade, putting the politically divided group at the center of a tug of war that could determine elections across the country.

Polls show that Trump’s standing with Latino voters has grown since his defeat in 2020, with some surveys finding him winning more than 40% of those voters — a level not seen for a Republican in two decades. That strength has Democrats playing defense to maintain the large majority of Latino voters on whom they have relied to win in recent years.

The shift underscores a stark reality of the 2024 election: Neither party can win with white voters alone.

As the fight for both the White House and Congress shifts more squarely to racially diverse states, both parties will need to rely on coalitions that include Black, Asian and Hispanic voters.

Latino voters will make up an estimated 15% of eligible voters this year, and 33% of eligible voters in California, where several swing districts are poised to determine control of the House. Races in Arizona and Nevada, where Latinos make up roughly 1 in 4 eligible voters, are positioned to tip the balance of power in the Senate.

The fight for the presidency has expanded in recent elections from battlegrounds in the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt. President Joe Biden relied on victories in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada to win in 2020. This year, both parties are investing heavily in those states to persuade the large numbers of Hispanic voters they believe are up for grabs.

Times are changing, there is a shift. People ARE waking up. The FBI and CIA have lost their ability to fool the electorate.

My shop is in New Tijuana(Pacoima) and last election there were Fuck Trump banners, signs,... lining the streets and on every car, even the invader children had them, and the inhabitants which are 80% Illegal Aliens were ALL IN for Pedo Joe. Personally I am enjoying the spectacle of their suffering for their vote.

If we could photoshop Trump signs into the pics of those throngs of migrants heading this way, the dems would have the border sealed in a week.

The NEW real Americans, (the murderous illegal aliens who built this country according to Chomo Joe) will easily make up for their lost vote.

Maybe they’re tired of being called “Latinx”.

Hispanics today are in much the same position as white ethnics were in the past. And look how many Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, etc. vote Republican today. Within another generation they'll just be considered another subset of the white working class and will vote accordingly.
