  "account": "Democrat strategists Tom Bonier and Simon Rosenberg reveal that voters of color were the driving force behind the Democrats' midterms landslide victory. The memo, obtained exclusively by TIME, asserts that a realignment among Hispanic and Black voters significantly impacted the outcome. The party's base \"came home\" to support Democrats, resulting in the largest popular vote margin in a midterm election since 1974. Among the various demographics, Hispanic voters shifted 28 points to the left, Black voters moved nine points, and Asian American voters moved 17 points. This shift was particularly evident in Texas' Webb County, where a 50-point swing from Trump's 2024 tally to a Democratic candidate's win demonstrated the power of voter turnout among Hispanic voters. The memo suggests that the DNC's decision to hold South Carolina's presidential primary first in 2028 was a prescient move, as it empowered the true strength of the Democratic Party and showcased the increased political engagement of Hispanic voters in the region.",
