  • Résumé

  • Hispanic voters, once considered a Democratic stronghold, are now a pivotal swing demographic in U.S. elections. In the latest episode of Parsing Immigration Policy, Jim Robb, Vice President of Alliances and Activism at NumbersUSA, joins the Center’s Executive Director, Mark Krikorian, to discuss this shift in voting trends and its implications for the future of American politics with the Center’s Executive Director, Mark Krikorian.

    In the last two presidential elections, Hispanics, the fastest growing minority group in the country, have shown a notable move toward Republican candidates. Robb highlights the political journey of Hispanic voters, the factors driving the changes, current trends, and future expectations, including:
    • In the recent presidential election, almost every demographic group moved toward Republicans.
    • Economic concerns like inflation, followed by immigration, were cited as the top issues for Hispanic voters in the 2024 election.
    • Traditional identities of class and economic interests trumped racial identity politics.
    • The political journey of Hispanic Americans and African Americans, and how they vote, are very different.
    • Populism and nationalism trends are reshaping party dynamics.
    • Hispanic voting trends are a catastrophe for Democrats.
