Latino voters disapprove of Trump’s presidency: Will that decide the midterms?

An estimated 36 million Latino adults are eligible to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. In the 2024 election, Democrats were shocked to see those voters, especially men, choose Donald Trump by the highest margins Latino voters had given a Republican in decades (Trump won an outright majority of Latino men, but Kamala Harris still edged him in Latino women). As Nov. 3 draws near, Ray Suarez for The Economic Hardship Reporting Project and Capital and Main examines how those same voters are once again an object of bipartisan fascination, speculation and organizing.
