Trump Wins Big with Hispanics, Flipping South Texas Counties

Texas Scorecard By Valerie Muñoz November 6, 2024

The border counties have historically favored Democrats down the ballot.

Hispanic Americans cast their vote in historic numbers for Republican President-elect Donald Trump, flipping historically blue counties red.

According to an NBC national exit poll, 54 percent of Hispanic/Latino men went for Trump.

In Maverick County, a border region including Eagle Pass, 59 percent of the vote went to Trump while 40 percent went to Kamala Harris—a 19-point victory for the Republican. In 2020, the county vote went to Biden by 9.5 percentage points.

The county voted Republican down the ballot, choosing U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Tony Gonzales, and voted only for Democrat Eddie Morales for state representative.

Maverick County has about a 95 percent Hispanic population.

Webb County went 51 percent for Trump and 49 percent for Harris. The county voted for Democrat U.S. Rep. Colin Allred over Cruz but flipped the Texas House seat red for Don McLaughlin Jr. He is the first Republican in 20 years to win the seat.
