A new analysis by the Pew Research Center reveals that President Donald Trump won 48% of the Latino vote in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, a higher percentage than previously reported. This performance brought Trump within three percentage points of capturing a majority of Latino voters, marking a notable shift from previous elections. The data indicates that Trump won the majority of Hispanic men and nearly won Hispanic women, with Latinas showing the largest four-year swing toward the Republican candidate, moving 26 percentage points from 2020 to 2024. This shift is attributed in part to economic concerns among Hispanic voters. The Pew findings highlight a historic Republican performance in this demographic, sparking discussions about the evolving political landscape among Latino voters.
People overlook this fact. Trump picked up a lot of independents and crossover Dems. Republicans have to convert them to Republican voters. How's that going?
I wouldn’t necessarily call it undermining just yet, as it’s likely a Trump-specific effect in his era rather than a broader GOP trend, but the Latino vote share Trump received in 2024 cannot be understated. https://t.co/O5DIp1FQpv https://t.co/Ybs0oWeHu0
But look at the Independents number, that’s a lot of people who voted Trump https://t.co/dehnOYH965
