Once drawn to Trump, Latinos snub him big time in midterms
An exit poll showed Democrats beating Republicans by 30 points among Latinos in the midterms, up from Kamala Harris’s five-point margin in 2024.
Once drawn to Trump, Latinos snub him big time in midterms. Many Latinos voted for Donald Trump in 2024 because he promised lower prices, but the Republican candidate failed to deliver. The same Latinos turned on Trump during the midterms as he cracked down on immigration. This aggressive stance, particularly by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, infuriated Latino voters.
The largest Latino turnout ever in a US midterm election was reportedly seen on Tuesday. Janet Murguia, president and CEO of UnidosUS, a Latino advocacy group, said Latino voters expressed their anger and concerns about the country's direction. Younger US-born Latinos, feeling as American as their parents, could not tolerate ICE's nationwide crackdown.
Latino voters sent a clear message about their anger and concern. Hinojosa, the first Latina governor of Texas, and California's Xavier Becerra, the first governor with Mexican roots, were elected. Democrats won by about 30 percentage points among Latinos, up from five for Kamala Harris in 2024.
