Trump gains support from Latino voters in Texas border counties

Donald Trump made significant gains among Latino voters in Texas, capturing 55% of their support, according to exit polls. He won 14 out of 18 border counties, doubling his 2020 performance in this traditionally Democratic region. Trump's success included winning all four counties in the Rio Grande Valley, a notable shift from his previous 29% support there. His performance marks the best results for a Republican presidential candidate in Texas in over 30 years. While Republicans gained ground, some local Democrats retained their positions. The results indicate a complex political landscape, with local dynamics influencing voter preferences despite Trump's broader appeal among Latino communities.
