Latino voter shift boosts Donald Trump in 2024 election
tmj4.com —
In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump secured 45% of the Latino vote, while Kamala Harris received 53%. This shift in Latino support was crucial for Trump's victory, contrasting with Joe Biden's 33-point lead among Latino voters in 2020. Despite significant outreach from Democrats, the Latino vote played a decisive role in the election. An October survey indicated that 64% of Latino voters in battleground states had contact with campaigns, primarily from Democrats. Experts noted that Latino voters increasingly prioritize economic issues. Many felt that Trump addressed their concerns more effectively than Harris, contributing to the shift in support.
