CNN host questions Democrat on misjudgment of Latino vote in election outcome
A Democratic congressman expressed surprise that the Latino vote did not strongly support Vice President Kamala Harris, contributing instead to Donald Trump's return to the White House. This discussion occurred during a CNN interview two days after the election. CNN host Jake Tapper questioned Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) about his earlier predictions that Harris would win the Latino vote. Garcia acknowledged that the results were disappointing, especially among Latino men, and emphasized the need for Democrats to engage more with the community. Garcia admitted he misjudged the situation, despite analyzing data and speaking with community groups. He noted that he and others believed the Latino vote was consolidating around Harris, which ultimately did not happen.
