Trump boosts Latino vote share in recent election despite immigration concerns

In the recent U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump increased his share of the Latino vote to 45%, up from 32% in 2020. This shift occurred despite his history of anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies that have often alienated Latino and Hispanic communities. Many Latino and Hispanic voters supported Trump due to diverse backgrounds and experiences. A significant portion, over 40%, backed his immigration policies, including border wall construction and deportations, despite 63% feeling disconnected from his immigration discussions. Gender dynamics also played a role, with Latino men showing stronger support for Trump than women. This reflects broader trends in voter behavior, where traditional gender roles and fears of losing status influenced preferences in the election.
