Trump gains support from Latino men in 2024 election, raising concerns for Democrats

In the 2024 election, Donald Trump gained significant support from Latino men, with 54% voting for him, up from 36% in 2020. This shift contrasts with Kamala Harris, who saw her support among Latino voters drop to 55% from 65% for Biden. The change is attributed to economic concerns, as many Latino men, primarily working class, have been affected by inflation. Additionally, dissatisfaction with increased unauthorized migration during Biden's term contributed to their support for Trump, especially in areas like Starr County, Texas. This trend raises questions about a potential long-term shift in voting patterns among Latino men, who are increasingly aligning with white working-class voters. The implications for the Democratic Party could be significant if this realignment continues.
