“Republicans are in a dogfight to defend the Latino gains that had them dreaming of a lasting political realignment just two years ago,” Axios reports.
“Nowhere is that reversal of fortune more visible than in South Texas, where President Trump ran up historic numbers in 2024 — and Republicans redrew the map in 2025, assuming those Latino gains would last.”
“Trump won 55% of Texas Latino voters in 2024 exit polls, carried 14 of the 18 counties within 20 miles of the border and won all four Rio Grande Valley counties.”
“Polling shows Trump’s disapproval ratings have skyrocketed among Latinos in Texas since 2024.”
