Trump Achieves Historic Latino Voter Support

In the 2024 election, Donald Trump garnered unprecedented support from Latino voters, capturing 45% of their votes, which is a significant increase from previous elections and surpasses the records set by past Republican candidates. His support among Latino men surged to 55%, while Vice President Kamala Harris received only 52% of the Latino vote, marking the worst performance for a Democratic candidate among this demographic in two decades. Notably, Trump made historic gains in traditionally Democratic strongholds, such as Starr County, Texas, where he won 57% of the vote, breaking a 128-year Democratic dominance. Additionally, Trump's backing among Black voters rose significantly, especially in swing states, with his support doubling in Wisconsin and increasing notably in Georgia and Pennsylvania. Analysts attribute these shifts to Trump's focus on economic issues, overshadowing his past controversial rhetoric on immigration. This election cycle reflects a notable realignment in American politics, as Trump's appeal extends beyond traditional Republican bases.
