Shifts in Latino Voting Patterns

Latino voters exhibited a significant shift in support towards Trump in the recent election, with estimates indicating an increase in his vote share among this demographic by up to 14 points compared to the previous cycle. Geographic data supports this change, showing that 86 majority-Hispanic counties were 13 points more Republican than in 2020. Notably, counties in South Florida and the Rio Grande Valley experienced drastic swings, with some areas, such as Miami-Dade, showing a 40-point shift. This trend points toward a potential realignment in Latino voting behavior, challenging previously held assumptions about their political affiliations.
