US Congressional Elections: These Voter Groups Are Crucial For The Midterm Elections
In 2024, Donald Trump was able to win many Latino votes for himself. In the midterms, things could turn out differently. Which voter groups could make the difference in the US congressional elections?
Randy Villegas, a 31-year-old Democrat and son of Mexican immigrants, is running against Republican incumbent David Valadao in California's 22nd congressional district. Villegas, an activist and politics graduate, has the support of left-wing figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and is favoured to win, particularly with the help of Latino voters.
A recent survey by Siena for the New York Times found that Latino voters prefer Democrats over Republicans by a 30-point margin. Many Latinos who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 are now switching to the Democrats, frustrated with rising living costs, gasoline prices, food prices, and healthcare costs.
