Trump wins 2024 election with historic Latino support, challenging Democratic assumptions

Donald Trump won the 2024 election, gaining a historic share of the Latino vote. This marks a significant shift from previous elections, where Democrats relied heavily on Latino support. In 2024, Trump made notable gains among voters of color, including Latinos. Despite Democrats securing 53% of the Latino vote, many are questioning why this group moved right. The narrative of Latino voters as a solidly blue bloc is challenged, as some Latinos align with Trump's views, even amid his anti-immigrant rhetoric. The article suggests that Democrats need to rethink their assumptions about identity politics. It argues that the belief that shared experiences of oppression lead to uniform political behavior is outdated, as many individuals from marginalized groups may hold differing views based on personal circumstances.
