Latino vote

Polling by Latino civil rights and advocacy organization UnidosUS suggests exit polling data may not show the full picture, senior vice president Eric Rodriguez tells Morning Edition.

On Arizona's border with Mexico, we look at one of many majority Latino counties that swung dramatically toward Donald Trump this election.

Democratic State Senator Roland Gutierrez is an immigration attorney and can offer a unique prespective on the Republican plan for mass deportation and why the Democratic Party appears to have lost the Latino Vote.

UnidosUS and a coalition of other left-leaning groups say Latino voters in 10 key states, including Texas, didn't swing as far to the right in last week's election as some other exit polls suggested.

As the campaign entered its final two weeks, former President Trump held a roundtable with Latino men in Florida, Vice President Harris sat for two interviews and early voting kicked off in Wisconsin.

Vice President Harris took questions on inflation, immigration and the way she became the Democratic nominee from undecided voters in her first town hall.

In Nevada, 1 in 5 potential voters are Latino. That is a voting bloc with a lot of political power in a state where elections are won by a few percentage points. And campaigns are paying attention.

Democrats have relied on the Latino vote but we are seeing a red shift. More Latinos are voting for Republican candidates. This is despite the anti-immigration rhetoric and threats of mass deportations. Paola Ramos investigates and has written the book : "Defectors – the rise of the latino far right and what it means for America."

Polls had shown President Biden lagging his 2020 levels with Latino voters. Now Biden is out, and Vice President Harris offers Democrats an opportunity to rally Latinos back to their side.

A poll from the advocacy group Voto Latino shows a growing share of voters choosing third-party candidates over either President Biden or former President Trump.
