Arizona's Latino voters sour on the president 'who betrayed us''Trump betrayed us':
TWO years ago, Fernando Nunez went door-to-door in searing heat to help Donald Trump win Arizona and take back the White House.
Two years ago, Fernando Nunez campaigned door-to-door in Arizona to help Donald Trump win the White House. Now, he refuses to vote for candidates backed by the president. Nunez, a 22-year-old of Mexican descent, was attracted to Trump's promises of lower prices, ending international wars and releasing files in the Jeffrey Epstein probe.
However, he is now furious about transparency issues over Epstein and the war in Iran, which has led to rising gas prices and inflation. Nunez, who earns $1,600 a month, says he will vote for independent candidates this time. In Yuma County, where Nunez lives, the Republican won by a 20-point margin, illustrating the growing shift among Latino voters in the United States.
In Somerton, a predominantly Latino town that typically favors Democrats, 40% of residents voted for Trump in 2024 due to anger over inflation and migrant influx. However, many who voted for Trump now feel disillusioned, with gas prices, meat costs, and aggressive enforcement raids driving them away.
