Latino voter shift boosts Donald Trump in 2024 election
wcpo.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 in 2020. Despite significant outreach from Democrats, Harris's support among Latino voters fell short. An October survey indicated that 64% of Latino voters in key states had contact with campaigns, primarily from Democrats. Experts noted that Latino voters are increasingly important as swing voters. Many prioritized economic issues, which they felt Trump addressed more effectively than Harris.
