The Rising Latino Support for Trump
The 2020 U.S. election broke political norms when Donald Trump, a Republican, captured significant Latino support, a demographic typically aligned with Democrats. Analysts say this shift could have lasting impacts on future political landscapes.
Key Reasons Behind the Shift

- Culture and Ideology: Some Hispanic voters resonated with Trump's conservative values regarding family and religion.
- Democratic Shortcomings: Many felt the Democratic Party had taken their vote for granted without delivering substantial benefits.
