Harris Faces Declining Latino Support in Key States

The race in Colorado's 8th Congressional District between Democratic incumbent Yadira Caraveo and Republican Gabe Evans remains undecided, with Caraveo leading by less than 2 percentage points and about 67% of votes counted. This district, one of the most competitive in the country, has a significant Latino population, which plays a critical role in shaping the election's outcome. In California, Vice President Kamala Harris faces challenges as support among traditionally Democratic Hispanic and Asian American voters declines, potentially impacting her presidential campaign if similar trends appear in battleground states. This shift in voter support is also evident in local contests, such as the rematch between Republican John Duarte and Democrat Adam Gray, where Latino voters are pivotal. Duarte is leveraging the decreasing Democratic support among Latinos to maintain his seat in the House, reflecting a broader trend of Latino voters' shifting allegiances. With both Colorado and California elections showcasing the importance of Latino voters, the outcomes could influence party control in Congress.
