A new study from the Pew Research Center shows that, in the 2024 presidential election, a slight majority of Latinos voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris — but they also voted for President Donald Trump at a much higher rate than they did in 2020.

Hispanic naturalized citizens recorded a 12% bump in voting for Trump, jumping from 39% in 2020 to 51% in 2024.

“Biden and Harris adopted a very permissive, very progressive position on the border,” Madrid argued. “There was backlash to it, because [naturalized citizens] were — after having waded many years through a very broken system and playing by the rules — seeing people being rewarded, in their eyes, for coming in around the system that they just navigated.”

Ramos saw that sense of betrayal with the Democratic Party’s false promises on immigration reform as leading to “deep disillusionment” among Latinos, which might have led them to find solace in Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.
