I can tell you right now that the Democratic leadership is not doing anything to convince them to vote for Democrats. Here in Harris County, they are failing big time; the best that they can hope for is that Trump will drive them their way.
The information came from here:
I will copy the information from the article; the links are very informative and should be followed.
The following is from Axios:
President Trump won a higher percentage of the Latino votein 2024 than previously believed and came within striking distance of capturing a historic majority of those voters, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of the election results.
Why it matters: The analysis confirms what early exit pollshinted: Kamala Harris dramatically underperformed previous Democratic presidential candidates among Latinos, a rapidly growing and once-solidly Democratic voting bloc that has taken a big swing toward Republicans.
The big picture: Pew’s analysis of election data shows that Trump won 48% of Latino voters — a group that had soundly rejected him in 2020 and 2016 — and that it was a crucial factor in his victory.
- The findings challenge claims by some left-leaning Hispanic political operatives that the early exit polls — which suggested Harris’ percentage of the Latino vote was in the mid-50s, still a decline for a Democrat — were incorrect, and that her losses among Latinos were minimal.
- Pew says the exit polls were off, but that the results were even worse for Harris — 51% of the Latino vote.
- The new data also show that Trump rode back into office with a more ethnically and racially diverse coalition than previously known.
The author of the article had the following to say:
In my post-election analysis, I said that Democrats have to treat Latino voters as, first of all, Americans, with the same basic concerns that other voters have. Later on, we can address “Latino issues”, bearing in mind that they are not a monolithic voting block that thinks about immigration, social issues etc. uniformly.
And drop “Latinx”
What did I have to say about Kamla?
I did not consider Harris a good candidate for the Latino voter; she proved me right. They surround themselves with all these young people who are so far removed from the lives of the working men and women, especially of the Hispanic community. Many of us come from a culture where the man is expected to be the provider and protector of the family, and we consider this the most crucial thing in our lives. Years ago, when I was working at a refinery during the summer as a student at Oklahoma State University, I worked alongside a crew of contract workers. That crew was the lowest paid and was given the hardest and most dangerous jobs. I asked the crew chief why they allowed themselves to be treated in that manner. His response is still engraved on my mind.
“We have families to support.”
