From Gaige Davila: “We’ve seen a sea change, in just two years: a sea change in Latino voting from what we saw in ’24, where we saw a substantial number of Latinos vote for Trump, vote for Republicans. And now, if you look at polling, consistently now you’re seeing a complete flip in the other direction toward Democrats.” https://www.texasobserver.org/south-texas-2026-trump-cuellar-gonzalez-hinojosa/
