Latinas Drove Trump’s Gains With Hispanic Voters

Eric Levitz: “Trump’s gains with Hispanic voters were apparent in preelection polling (even if the magnitude of those gains was not). In October, the New York Times entertained the theory that Hispanic men were driving this trend, as Trump appealed to their ‘machismo culture.’ And on one level, the election results are consistent with that hypothesis: In absolute terms, Trump performed better with Latinos than Latinas.”

“But Equis’s polling suggests that between 2016 and 2020, Trump gained far more ground with Hispanic women.”

Of course, this is also more evidence that making it harder for infrequent voters to vote can hurt Republicans.
