Texas Latino Leaders Demand Increased DGA Funding for Hinojosa Amid Tight Gubernatorial Race

Latino Democratic leaders in Texas are clashing with the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) over insufficient financial support for Gina Hinojosa’s gubernatorial campaign against incumbent Greg Abbott. While polls show a historically tight race, Abbott retains a significant fundraising advantage. National party officials face pressure to allocate more resources to Texas, a state where a Democratic victory would be unprecedented since 1990.

Economic anxiety and immigration fears fracture Trump’s Latino coalition ahead of midterms

Donald Trump’s 2024 Latino voting coalition is rapidly eroding as economic hardship and aggressive immigration enforcement drive voters away from the Republican Party. New polling indicates a sharp shift toward Democratic candidates in key battleground states, particularly Texas, where the GOP’s recent redistricting strategy may fail to secure expected seats. While frustration with Trump is high, Democrats face challenges in converting this discontent into a durable coalition, as their own favorability among Latino voters has not fully recovered from previous losses.

Economic Anxiety and Deportation Fears Drive Latino Voters Away from Trump in Texas and Florida

Latino voters in Texas and Florida are rapidly withdrawing support from President Donald Trump ahead of the 2026 midterms. A new poll shows only 27% approval among registered Latino voters, with over 60% viewing the Republican Party negatively—the highest level since 2016. While economic concerns and aggressive immigration enforcement drive this shift, the Democratic Party’s image has also declined among this demographic, though less sharply than the GOP’s.

Latino Voters Swing Back to Democrats as Economy and Immigration Backlash Reshape 2026 Midterms

A new NBC News/Telemundo poll reveals a sharp reversal in Latino voter sentiment, with Democrats now holding a 24-point lead among this demographic for the 2026 midterms. This shift follows a significant swing toward Republicans in 2024 and is driven primarily by dissatisfaction with the cost of living and aggressive immigration enforcement. While 22% of Latino Trump voters plan to abandon the GOP, regional variations persist, particularly in Florida, where local backlash against deportation policies is growing. Simultaneously, internal Democratic tensions over transgender messaging are emerging, with some candidates adopting anti-trans rhetoric to appeal to red-leaning districts, a strategy criticized by LGBTQ rights groups but defended by some strategists as necessary for competitive races.

Latino Democrats urge Beshear to prioritize Texas gubernatorial race

Latino Democratic leaders are pressuring Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, the chair of the Democratic Governors Association, to expand the party’s midterm map to include Texas. They argue that supporting Democrat Gina Hinojosa in her race against incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott is critical to reversing the loss of Latino voters. While the DGA is currently focused on swing states like Michigan and Arizona, advocates contend that Texas is central to the party’s broader coalition-building efforts.

Black and Latino Democrats Spar Over 2028 Primary Kickoff

Black leaders want South Carolina to start the 2028 Democratic primary due to its large Black electorate, while Latino groups push Nevada for its sizeable Latino vote; the dispute, highlighted by statements from Rev. Al Sharpton and party leaders ahead of a DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee meeting, could influence early momentum for candidates and reflects broader intra-party tensions.

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.

Becerra’s unlikely comeback reshapes California’s governor race

Xavier Becerra, who started the California governor race with weak polling and little excitement, surged to the top after former Rep. Eric Swalwell dropped out amid misconduct allegations, leveraging his resume, Latino background, and working-class appeal to bolster support and advance to the general election. If he wins in November, he would be California’s first Latino governor since 1875, but the final lineup remains unsettled as ballots continue to be tallied and the top-two race solidifies against possible opponents like Hilton or Steyer.

New Texans, New Math: Migration Upends Texas 2026 Senate Race

Texas has added roughly 2.6 million residents since 2020, fueling rapid growth in exurbs and suburbs that are reshaping the electorate. The influx creates uncertainty in the 2026 Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico as newcomers’ political leanings are less predictable, and Latino voters show signs of moving away from Trump, complicating Republicans’ traditional margins even as Paxton remains a strong incumbent.

Latino Voters Swing Away From Trump, Stoking 2026 GOP Concerns

A UnidosUS/BSP/Shaw poll finds that 25% of Latino Trump voters say they would not vote for him again, signaling waning support as Latino disapproval of Trump rises and Democrats lead in Latino-heavy battlegrounds for the 2026 House elections; the poll shows Florida as an exception where Latinos back the GOP, while nationwide Latinos cite cost of living as the top issue, alongside governance and civil rights concerns that could reshape turnout in swing districts.

Latino Voters Hold the Key to Hilton and Pratt's California Upstart

Latino Voters Hold the Key to Hilton and Pratt's California Upstart

As California primaries approach, Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt need strong Latino turnout to upend expectations, but backing Donald Trump risks alienating Latino voters who have grown skeptical of the president. The column argues Latinos are a pivotal, volatile swing bloc in California politics—much more responsive to local issues and economic concerns than national partisan labels—and notes polling showing waning Latino support for Trump. Hilton’s embrace of Trump and Pratt’s mixed signals are criticized as misreading the landscape; unless they decisively distance themselves from Trump and prioritize resonant Latino-focused messaging and policy, their chances of pulling off a historic upset remain slim.
