Latino Voter Shift: Economic Concerns Drive Trump Gains

Latino men increasingly support Trump, while Latinas remain a key Democratic bloc amid economic challenges.

  • Donald Trump secured 46% of the Latino vote in the 2024 election, marking a significant increase from previous years.
  • Latino men's support for Trump was bolstered by his focus on economic issues and border security, resonating more than Democratic themes of democracy and character.
  • Latinas, who constitute a substantial portion of voters in key states, largely backed Kamala Harris despite economic grievances and a narrowing gender gap.
  • TelevisaUnivision's engagement with Trump, including a notable Univision appearance, was pivotal in shifting Latino voter dynamics.
  • Both campaigns failed to adequately address the specific economic challenges facing Latinas, potentially risking future electoral support.
