Republicans won the Hispanic/Latino vote in Texas. Democratic dreams of a Blue Texas is over. Look at the Southern Border. Few places in the nation have shifted as hard to the right as the Texas Border. See the shift from 2016 to 2024 – Manav
In the 2024 elections, Texas witnessed a significant shift in Latino voter preferences, with many moving from Democratic to Republican candidates. Donald Trump secured approximately 48% of the Latino vote in Texas, while Kamala Harris received 47%, indicating a notable change from previous elections where Democrats held a stronger lead among Latino voters.

This trend was particularly evident in South Texas, a region with a predominantly Latino population. For instance, Starr County, which is 97% Hispanic and had consistently voted Democratic for 128 years, flipped in favor of Trump, who garnered over 57% of the vote. New York Post
Analysts suggest that this shift may be due to the Democratic Party’s focus on issues like climate change and transgender rights, which may not resonate as strongly with working-class Latino men compared to concerns about crime and the economy.
Yes but at the same time many exit polls show Latino men went majority Trump this time, NBC’s for example… The demographics is destiny took a hit this election, Texas is more Hispanic than ever and went more right-wing than it has in decades pic.twitter.com/HoYyanhZLK

Naive republicans are celebrating because Hispanic districts in Southern Texas supposedly went republican. Bullsh!t. Here is the map of the 2024 House races, from Fox News. All of Texas went republican except the major cities (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso,) plus District 28, the exact southern border region that supposedly turned republican. Latinos will NEVER vote majority republican. For my whole, long life, people have been saying they are “Natural republicans.” No. Latinos are not republicans, natural or otherwise, and they are not as socially conservative as you have been told. Their rates of fatherless children, drug abuse, and STDs are midway between those of Whites and Blacks. At sex parties (yes, they exist) the Latinos are reckless beyond belief. (I’m actually sort of impressed by that.) If Latinos had actually flipped republican, they would have taken San Antonio and El Paso with them. Both cities are overwhelmingly Latino, and both voted democrat. IMO, calling Latinos “natural republicans” is a democrat op, like a strawberry daquiri. The purpose of daquiri drinks is to hide the alcohol flavor, so girls can get drunk without anyone ever admitting that’s what they wanted. Likewise, calling Latinos “Natural republicans” is just an excuse to let 20 million of them enter the country and flip it permanently blue, without anyone ever admitting that’s what they wanted. This charade will stop when enough Latinos have entered the country that dems don’t have to care what we think anymore. If this ever changes, if Latinos ever do start voting republican, you will know immediately because democrats will lay a border minefield.
Donald Trump captured 55% of Latino voters in Texas, according to exit polls. He also won 14 out of the 18 counties within 20 miles of the border, a number that doubled his 2020 performance in the Latino-majority region. – Texas Tribune
