Democrat strategists and their allies in the mainstream media have been sounding alarm bells for several years now over the erosion of support among black and Hispanic/Latino voters. The slow but steady drop was brought about in part by the inroads Donald Trump has made with both communities. In particular, the Hispanic community has shifted how they've voted not just in presidential elections but in Congressional elections as well, which we saw for example in some 2020 and 2022 races in Texas, Florida, and New Mexico. Needless to say, this has brought about a great wailing and gnashing of teeth,...

Celebrity endorsements in an election year are hardly a new phenomenon. But former President Donald Trump’s appearance alongside Puerto Rican reggaeton star Anuel AA forms part of a larger emerging pattern in his campaign’s outreach to voters of color — and signals the campaign might see an opportunity in battleground Pennsylvania.... First greeting the former president on the tarmac, Anuel, born Emmanuel Gazmey Santiago, later endorsed Trump during his rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on Friday, telling Puerto Ricans to “stay united” and to “vote for Trump.”...While the immediate crowd might not be familiar with the star, Anuel’s magnitude as a...

...The convoys are known as “Trump Trains”, and though they have appeared in other states they have taken off in the Rio Grande valley. They symbolize the political drama that is unfolding in this overwhelmingly Hispanic community that has for generations been umbilically tied to the Democratic party: the seemingly unassailable rise of Trump.... An opinion poll from April conducted by the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation (TxHPF) found that Trump was leading his then presumptive rival Biden in South Texas by 44% to 36%. That was an astounding statistic given the region’s previously lock-tight Democratic record... Religion is another critical...

Treeper Question:ICTHEMATRIX – […] “Related to the topic of discerning alignment via a question, I would like to sincerely ask you your thoughts on a very real possibility:What are we to make of President Trump’s possible choice of Marco Rubio as his VP?In many columns and pages, you have chronicled the multiple failure points of Senator Rubio…his service within the corrupted Intelligence committee, and his non-MAGA compromises. I fear this could become another massive moment of fatally poor judgement.”The direct issue of the vice presidential pick of Donald Trump is a fun topic often discussed, because it can easily engage...

Former President Donald Trump has vowed to take extreme actions to secure the U.S.-Mexico border if he wins November’s presidential election. And that promise is supported by a key voting bloc — Latinos. The most recent Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll shows that the percentage of Latinos who support erecting a border wall and deporting all undocumented immigrants has increased by at least 10 points since 2021. According to the research, even among those who might have connections to immigration, Trump’s calls for increased border security and possibly his anti-immigrant rhetoric are having an impact. The results also illuminate Republicans’ recent gains...

Almost half of Latino adults support the mass deportation of illegal immigrants — more than both blacks and Democrats, a new Harris Poll survey conducted exclusively for Axios reveals. According to the national survey of 6,251 U.S. adults, conducted March through April, a 51% majority say they support mass deportations of “undocumented” (aka, illegal) immigrants. But a closer look yields some surprising results. Nearly half (45%) of Latinos say they support mass deportation of illegal aliens, more than the 40% support of black respondents. Among whites, 56% say they’re in favor. What’s more, 42% of Democrats support a sweeping purge...

Actor John Leguizamo obliterated a small horse piñata while reciting a thorough catalogue of Spanish-language profanities on “The Daily Show” Tuesday in response to a New York Times/Siena poll that reported former President Trump leads President Biden among Latino voters. Of the poll’s Hispanic respondents, 46 percent they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, and 40 percent said they would vote for Biden. “You may be thinking, how is this possible? ‘Build the wall’ Donald Trump? ‘Mass deportations’ Donald Trump? ‘Guy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball player’ Donald Trump?” asked Leguizamo, after pummeling the...

Latino voters rejected the accusation that former President Donald Trump is a "threat to democracy" in a recent interview with CBS News, telling network reporter Weijia Jiang they’re "not buying" the line that "democracy is on the ballot in 2024." Three Hispanic Arizona residents spoke to Jiang for a segment that aired on "CBS Evening News" on Wednesday, telling her they don't believe the Trump "threat" a bit and think the media and Democratic Party are "using it to death." The notable moment came when Jiang said to the three voters, "President Biden has called Trump a threat to democracy...

A Maryland congressional candidate latched onto Friday’s expulsion of Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to boost his own campaign, calling on the country to “send a real gay, Latino, Jew to Congress.” State Delegate Joe Vogel (D) announced a run for Maryland’s 6th District in May, currently held by Rep. David Trone (D), who is pursing a Senate campaign. “Unlike George Santos, we’re going to Congress to solve problems not create drama,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter. “And we don’t use our campaign funds on Botox — we’re instead using the money you chip in to build an organizing program...

Opinion Vivek Ramaswamy’s political narrative revolves around his aspiration for the American Presidency. Advocating anti-woke sentiments, he challenges the prevailing elitist culture, distinguishing himself as an entrepreneurial outsider. His stance on issues like immigration, Ukraine, and the Israel-Palestine conflict showcases a pragmatic approach, emphasising the need for strategic balance and national interest. If all the scenarios align favorably for him, it can be supposed, in the context of the US elections, that individuals like Vivek Ramaswamy should be elected as the most powerful person on Earth-namely, to the American Presidency. He is young, energetic, and an Ivy League product, with...

Peru’s newly elected president identifies as a Marxist and is against gay marriage. Nicaragua’s once revolutionary president is against abortion. Leftist leaders across Latin America, like Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico, are scrapping progressive values to maintain electoral coalitions Back in the 1960s and '70s when leftists ruled countries in Latin America, their movements focused on the plight of the poor and their economic conditions. In the 2000s, Latin America’s "pink tide" of leftist leaders, like Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, embraced progressive social movements. But as the evangelical church began to grow in Latin America, a region...

FIRST ON FOX: The growing controversy over the Smithsonian Institution’s planned Latino Museum has come to a head with a group of over a dozen conservative Latinos who wrote to Congress reiterating their calls to defund the museum, which they say promotes a "leftist ideological narrative." "This museum in no way celebrates the culture and overall contributions of Americans of Hispanic origin," Alfonso Aguilar, the President of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, told Fox News Digital. "It actually presents a totally distorted portrayal of Hispanics in the US in order to advance an extreme leftist ideology." "I recognize that...

“We are exhausted” with crime and “need results,” National Supermarket Association’s Nelson Eusebio fumes to The Post, explaining why 70 mostly Latino city grocers are donating $1,000 apiece to Rep. Lee Zeldin’s campaign for governor. SNIP The group — whose stores include Foodtown, Key Food, C-Town and other supermarkets — have generally voted for Democrats, Eusebio explained.

Nearly a quarter of Latino voters have not yet decided who they will vote for in the upcoming midterm elections — creating a significant unknown for a group that has drifted towards the Republicans in recent years.

Even a small loss of support among Hispanics — a key part of the Democratic coalition of voters that brought President Joe...

Support among Latinos for former President Donald Trump during the November 2020 presidential election was higher than previously thought, according to data in a newly released post-mortem analysis of the election. The analysis, which was conducted by the Democratically-aligned research firm Equis Labs, found that "in 2020, a segment of Latino voters demonstrated more ‘swing' than commonly assumed". The data suggests that the Trump campaign's efforts to boost support among Latinos were partially successful, even though as a whole the population played a critical role in the Democratic coalition that won the White House and flipped the Senate. There are...

AUSTIN, Texas – Beto O'Rourke, who is facing off against Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in November's election, said that the rightward shift of Latino voters in recent years is partly due to a disregard for the demographic by Democrats.

"You got to be locking eyeballs with the people that you want to fight for...
