An honest appraisal and correct judging from the Hispanic voters I know. They are not for open borders, they are not for transgender nonsense in schools. They are also not for high taxes and green "transition". Populist politicians often win elections in Central and South America. I doubt AOC style politics appeals to most Hispanics over the age of 30.

Would be curious to know if there will be research into the possibility of voter fraud by illegal immigrants as per claims made by conservatives prior to the election. It's unlikely of course, even more than apologies from liberals who had simultaneously warned about Trump administration suppression of various voting groups.

We already have evidence that the Trump Party’s claims of massive illegal immigrant voting were wild exaggerations given how few prosecutions have occurred.

Very helpful analysis, including thecautionary note. Thank you.

Thinking that 2024 was permanent, was a major contributing factor to the Republican dummymanders in TX and NC. Democratic politicians are certainly capable of short-term thinking as well.

Yeah, while Latino voters are turned off by the Trump regime’s aggressive deportation tactics, they were not enamored with bleeding hearts on the left who wanted to granted immediate entry to nearly everyone who filed as asylum claim during the Biden Administration. Hopefully, the Dems learned their lesson on that.

In the southern part of my state are some counties that are majority Hispanic, like from a million years ago. Counties with names like Baca, Otero, Conejos, Archuleta. They showed up on the map as red again but not by very much. I'd be interested in knowing how many people stayed home.
