Now that we have final numbers. It appears that Harris had all the white & black support she needed for an EC victory. But Trump outright flipping Latino men and making huge gains with Latino women seems to have made all the difference.

What do you think?

First image is 2024, second is 2020.

    Ummm, yes they did. Latino male turnout went up 1%. More of them voted this election than 2020. Which means they shifted right.

      The percentage of all Latino voters going up between 2020 and 2024 doesn’t necessarily mean there was more turn out from Latinos; if the voter demographics have shifted between 2020 and 2024 so that Latinos make up 1% more of the population, then they are still turning out at the exact same per capita rate as before, as a group.

      Which sounds like a short time, but that’s a small shift and plenty of people turn 18 every day.

      Non sequitur, there are many analyses of the party change and they don’t all boil down to left vs right.
