After receiving support from nearly half of Latino voters in the 2024 election, Trump had lost the backing of a majority surveyed in October. Pew found that 70% of Latinos “disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president”, while 65% disapprove of his administration’s approach to immigration and 61% believe his economic policies have worsened economic conditions.

Trump won 48% of the Latino vote in 2024, up from 28% in 2016. Latinos, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States, account for one in five Americans.

After the 2024 election, Latinos, particularly Latino men, credited Trump’s economic proposals and immigration policies – suggesting he was not serious about threats of mass deportations – for winning their vote.

At the time, two-thirds of Latinos said they “do not feel like he is talking about me” when Trump discussed his immigration policies, and more than 40% approved of his proposal to build a border wall, according to an October 2024 Siena poll for the New York Times.

1. I wonder why.

2. +1

3. Duh

I cannot believe this group got duped when their very lives and the lives of their families may depend on who is president.

[dalton99a]

4. Evidently they didn't want a woman - white or black

(but Mexico elected Claudia Sheinbaum)

5. Sister's inlaws

My sister's husband is Mexican American, his whole family are. He has aunts and uncles who've gone back and forth living in Mexico and the US. One of them was here illegally back int he 90s and decided to return to Mexico to be able to enter legally. It was a nightmare, he kept showing up to court to get his case ruled on and it kept not getting heard. It took him several tries until a lawyer pulled him aside and said, "In order for your case to be heard, you'll need $5000 cash to be dropped off to this person..." He didn't know he had to bribe someone to even get his case heard. Took him some time to save up and finally get here legally and get his green card. He became an American citizen 15 or 20 years ago. Dude voted for Trump in 2024. Now he's worried that because he was here illegally in the 90s, his citizenship will be revoked and he'll be deported. I haven't talked to him, but my sister did and just told him, "Well, that's what you voted for.."

9. No, they are just illinformed, and for whatever reason, a lot of them think that being republican is cool

I know this because I have a lot of Latino friends, and I had so many discussions with them during the campaign, they didn't know anything about Kamala, besides the propaganda they were fed with all day, same as with the propaganda in favour of trump.

6. Massive cruel fools. Every single one of them that voted for creepo.

Cruelty was ok if it wasn’t directed at them.

Well Karma is coming for them.

[popsdenver]

18. I was gonna say..........

you voted for him......you grew it, you chew it. Munch, Munch, Munch...........

Same for any and ALL of ANY minority groups that voted for ANY Republican.......Blacks, Mexicans, foreigners, Gays and Lesbians, etc etc etc As well as DEMS who didn't bother to vote..........

7. The racist redistricting plan that Texas Republicans adopted at Trump's urging will now blow up in their faces.

Many voters in these heavily Latino congressional districts, specifically redrawn to increase the voting power of supposedly conservative-leaning Latinos who supported Trump and Republicans in 2024, are now realizing their mistake. It won't play out as Republicans intended.

[Martin Eden]

8. When Trump echoed Hitler's "They're poisoning the BLOOD of our country"

BLOOD was directed at the Hispanic RACE, regardless of immigration status or citizenship.

10. But will vote for him again over a woman.

I have a cousin who lives in TX. Per him, Latinos (at least those where he lives) are very racist toward African Americans and other Latinos. They consider themselves to be white. They have a dim view of immigration - basically, I'm here....I deserve to be here...I came here the right way...stay the F out of my country.

12. Apperantly pulling the ladder up isn't helping them.

[SaydiTom]

13. You know what? I'm not in a forgiving mood, re Latino voters.

They knew the overturning of Roe meant women sat in ER parking lots filling up adult diapers with blood as they miscarried without medical help.

They knew trump staged a violent assault on the Capitol and law enforcement.

They knew the filth that pours out of trump's mouth. His adultery. His sexual assaults. His racism.

His worship of violent dictators. His treason.

He point blank told them "MASS DEPORTATIONS."

His COVID failure. Horse paste. 3,000 dead in Puerto Rico because of his incompetence and hatred. He's a sociopath.

He lost 3,000,000 MILLION jobs and added $3.8 TRILLION to the debt.

And yet they still voted for him because "he's a good businessman." Not sure how much more blind and callous you can be to the suffering of your fellow Americans or the collapse of our values as a country. Not sure how much more impervious you can be to facts.

So yeah - don't foresee ever being in a forgiving mood re Latino voters.

17. And if they came from Mexico, they had to take the Oath of Allegiance

Support the Constitution;

Renounce and abjure absolutely and entirely all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which the applicant was before a subject or citizen;

Support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

[Reader Rabbit]

14. It blows me away that any ever approved of him in the first place!

Was it typical Republican, "I've got mine. F*** the rest of y'all"?

15. Latino Voting Block?

I understand that no group - even right wing Christians - vote as a block, and it is unrealistic (and demeaning) to suggest otherwise. But are there any recognized leaders within the Latino community coming out and addressing what happened in 2024 and trying to get people to realize that they were conned? I enjoy FAFO and faces being eaten by leopards as much as the next person, but I feel all of this disapproval will come to naught unless leaders within segments of any community that feels betrayed by the orange monster try to explain/contextualize what happened in 2024 as a teachable moment, and get them to commit to not being fooled again. Otherwise, folks will fall prey to the same racism, sexism and divisions that have worked so well for the Cons in the past. How do we break out of the cycle?

16. if trump is incompetent what does that say about his supporters?

Latinos actually believed that project 2025 was a lie even though trump's core team authored it.

at this point, any Latino is now a criminal unless they can prove otherwise. And even then, they could spend days in horrific conditions before being released.

[Vinca]

19. Kind of a day late and a dollar short. Trump's feelings toward the nonwhite have never been a secret.

[ananda]

20. So their lives are now worth more than the culture wars.

I wish we could say the same thing about the white magats.

[Shellback Squid]

21. these "latinos for trump" disgust me, how they are accepted by their communities boggles my mind

my relatives fall in to this category, I don't discuss politics around them, my uncle is convinced he got the VA coverage because of trump, both exposures to agent orange have not been good to him, sickness and then lies


Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, signed by Donald Trump in 2019

The other is the PACT Act for veterans, signed by Joe Biden in 2022

22. It doesn't matter. Trump is a lame duck. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Interesting Use Of The Word "Majority"

70% disapproval is not adequately described by the single word "majority".
An superlative seems in order ("vast majority"?) or "preponderance".
Maybe it's just me, but majority can be easily interpreted as a few percent above 50.

[TheProle]

24. I agree

Politically framed, it'd be a supermajority.

But it's an odd statement all around. Harris won the Hispanic vote in '24, which is... a majority.

[Wonder Why]

25. So 20% of Latinos are happy their mothers-in-law are gone or are going?

[RockRaven]

26. Well, it was very dumb for so many of them to vote for him then...

Because he is just doing the awful shit he said he would do, yet that shit is what they are disapproving of.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. Latino voters are waking up and realizing that trump only wants whites in the US
