Latino identity fractures politics in 2024 battlegrounds, Pew finds
A Pew study shows Latino voters aren’t a monolith: Trump supporters largely identify as American and feel Latino issues affect their lives less, while Harris supporters favor origin-based labels and feel a stronger connection to discrimination and shared fate. Despite Trump’s strong showing among Latinos in 2024, the findings highlight deep internal divides and a broad preference for the term 'Hispanic' over 'Latino' or 'Latinx/Latine,' complicating campaign outreach ahead of the midterms.
