The Hidden Trend Behind Latinos’ Shift Toward Trump

“Underlying the 2024 election results was a subtle trend that could signal a dramatic reshaping of the electorate: a surge in ticket-splitting among Latino voters who shifted sharply toward Donald Trump but also supported Democratic House and Senate candidates,” Politico reports.

“The rise in voters simultaneously backing both parties complicates how both parties will approach next year’s midterms and the 2028 presidential race.”

“It also raises an urgent question: Were Trump’s gains with Latinos a sign of a fundamental break with the Democratic Party, or are voters who backed him in 2024 still largely Democrats who just preferred him over Kamala Harris?”
