According to CNN exit polling, New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D) won the support of 68% of Latino voters, while Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D) received 67% support from Latino voters.
The results mark a shift from just one year ago, when the voting bloc helped propel Trump to victory. Republicans say the time is now to course-correct ahead of next year’s midterms.
“Unfortunately Latinos are leaving the Republican Party after giving us a monumental chance in 2024,” said Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) in an video posted on the social platform X after Tuesday’s results. “In New Jersey and Virginia, Hispanics moved back more than 25 points to the Democratic Party.”
Latino men knew this policy position when they joined the cauc block in re-electing Trump. I’m frankly surprised they’ve swung back.
Lol
I think they realize nobody is ‘one of the good ones’ and everybody is in the chopping block if anyone is.
Or at least I hope so.
If they have learned that, I also hope the memory lasts.
Yeah, not all of them can see it. I know someone in their late 60s, Hispanic, collecting social security and on medicare, and they’re still consuming right wing propaganda. Until consequences actually happen to them or someone they love, many will continue to see what they wish to be true. It’s really disheartening.
Yep. That’s how narcissistic personality disorder tends to work.
They can only be taught through personal experience, not by example. Because they have no empathy.
It’s the guns. That’s one of their hot topics. They think everyone should have one.
