Despite making up a relatively small number of voters across key battleground states, much of the blame for Democrats’ recent electoral performance has been directed at Latinos—specifically Latino men. Gabriel R. Sanchez digs into the data to provide perspective on the potential factors that led more Latino men to vote for Donald Trump in 2024 than in the last presidential election.
“While President-elect Trump increased his support among Latino men this cycle, he did not get the majority of this sub-group in 2024. Support for Trump was highest among Latino men under 40 at 48%, 20% of whom were first time voters in 2024.”
