(Reuters) - Ricardo Aguirre sits near his two taco trucks and laments the soaring cost of tomatoes, onions, meat and cilantro, which have doubled in price in recent months, hammering his Phoenix-based catering business.
Aguirre, 43, usually votes for the Democratic Party. But with inflation hitting a 40-year high in February he has a stark warning for Democrats as they seek to keep control of the U.S. Congress in November's elections.
"If the Republican Party has something better to offer us, I will vote Republican," said Aguirre. Republicans, he believes, are generally better economic stewards who could have more success in reducing prices.
Of 35 Hispanic voters Reuters spoke to in two toss-up races in Arizona and Colorado, 20 - including Aguirre - said soaring inflation is causing them to seriously consider voting for Republicans. The majority of those said they usually vote Democrat.
Many said they don't necessarily blame Democrats but have lost faith in their ability to solve inflation and are increasingly willing to let Republicans try.
Even a small loss of support among Hispanics - a key component of the Democratic coalition of voters that brought President Joe Biden to power - could mean the loss of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate for Democrats.
Four of the top 15 congressional targets for Republicans are races with heavy Mexican-American populations, according to Mike Madrid, a Republican strategist based in California.

They only think there’s inflation because of right-wing mis-information! Just because prices are going up does not mean it doesn’t only affect rich people and isn’t transitory.
Studies show first generation illegals favor democrats because democrats are the party of criminals.
But because Hispanics are escaping the kind of hellholes that democrats want to create here they start leaving Democrats by the second generation and start supporting Republicans.
Democrats know this and are doing everything they can to import millions of voters (and making them legal) before 2024 no matter what the damage is to the United States.
Think of it this way - democrats are totalitarians... and they’ll do whatever it takes to stay in power...
They will still vote for free stuff. Every one I see at the supermarket all have EBT cards and a bunch of kids. They will NOT vote to get rid of their free stuff.
It's FAR, FAR, WORSE than this Reuters news story is stating.
The DIMMS are TOAST in Nov!
The Democrats are bringing in millions of replacements
I doubt it. Non-Hispanics from the world over are now the majority of illegals.
Well if they don’t blame democrats then they are too stupid to be in business for themselves anyway.
Biden: “I’d like to place an order with Dominion ...”
Would it be bad to speculate that all the illegals will go back to their native country if inflation continues to get out of hand?
Other countries print money, too.
If there is inflation in the US, it’s possible there is inflation in other countries.
I think only hyperinflation ebsured people will flee the US.
Oh well, one can hope, right?
