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.”

    because latino is a broad overarching label for a dozen different hispanic groups… With some being more religiously motivated towards Republicanism (especially thanks to abortion and homosexuality hatred), while other groups are more open minded and care about the attacks on their communities over some pointless religious tryharding.

    Which is why no one should be surprised at the amount of hispanic men being photographed doing ice raids.
