Trump's Texas Triumph: Latino Voters Shift Right in 2024 Election

Donald Trump achieved significant gains among Latino voters in Texas border counties during the 2024 presidential election, capturing 55% of the Latino vote and winning 14 out of 18 counties near the border. This shift marks a notable rightward trend in traditionally Democratic strongholds, challenging the Democratic assumption that a growing Latino population would ensure their dominance. While Republicans celebrated these gains, local races still showed Democratic resilience, indicating that Trump's appeal may not fully translate to broader Republican support.
