Summary
Latino voters shifted significantly toward Donald Trump in 2024, driven largely by concerns over inflation, jobs, and immigration.
Trump garnered 45% of the Hispanic vote, a 13-point increase from 2020 and the highest for a Republican since 2004.
His economic message resonated, especially among Latino men, with many seeing him as a businessman focused on financial priorities over social issues. Immigration concerns also played a role, with some Latinos supporting Trump’s tougher stance on border control.
However, Latinas largely favored Kamala Harris, prioritizing issues like women’s rights.
So they voted for the guy who’s stated goals of adding high tariffs to all imports and doing mass deportations of workers necessary to the agriculture industry will fuck the economy royally. Yeah, that makes sense.
