Trump wins Texas border county for first time in over a century with major voter shift

President-elect Trump won Starr County, Texas, a majority Hispanic area, marking the first Republican victory there since 1898. He defeated Vice President Kamala Harris with 57.7% of the vote, a significant turnaround from his 60-point loss in 2016. This election saw Trump gain support among Hispanic voters nationwide, increasing his share by 6 points compared to 2020. His appeal extended to other demographics, including Black and young voters, contributing to his overall success. Trump also flipped Miami-Dade County in Florida, winning by a narrow margin. These shifts indicate a notable change in voting patterns among traditionally Democratic constituencies.
