Former President Donald Trump’s gains among Hispanic voters in the 2020 election came as a surprise to Democrats and legacy media, but recent data shows the far-left rhetoric and policies increasingly embraced by Democrats is driving Hispanics away.
The rightward shift among Hispanic voters last November was especially pronounced in crucial states like Florida and Texas. Trump won 45% of the Hispanic vote in Florida, an 11-point increase from his 2016 performance, mainly due to support among Miami’s Cuban-American community.
Trump also won around 41-47% of the Hispanic vote in traditionally Democratic border counties in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley region, where up to 90% of residents are Hispanic. Counties in Texas with the highest percentage of Hispanic residents also shifted toward the Republican Party between 19 and 55 points in the 2020 election, The Washington Post reported.
