Latinos Have Mass Exodus From Democrat Party Over Abortion

For a long time, the Democrat Party has had a stranglehold on Hispanic voters. But that is all changing now as Latino Americans are increasingly voting Republican and running for office as Republican candidates.

Life News reports:

California resident Luis Alberto Montalvo has written a letter to the Los Angeles Times explaining why he and other Hispanics are now Republicans.

“The GOP is antiabortion. Almost half of all Latinos in the United States identify as Roman Catholic,” he observers.

Another California voter who is Hispanic makes the same observation.

“Latinos, like myself, would rather side with a party that is pro-life, pro-personal responsibility, pro-law enforcement and pro-legal immigration,” he explained.

Townhall reports:

A new Wall Street Journal poll found them split evenly on the question of whether to support the GOP or Democrats in the 2022 congressional elections. That’s a big change from an imposing Democratic advantage in previous races. The poll also showed the Hispanic vote virtually tied in a hypothetical 2024 Joe Biden-Donald Trump rematch — after supporting Biden by more than 25 points in 2020.

A recent Dallas Morning News poll found Biden’s support at 35% approval and 54% disapproval among Texas Hispanics. Those voters particularly disapprove of Biden’s handling of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Meanwhile, in the Virginia governor’s race, Teixeira notes with some astonishment, “Democrat Terry McAuliffe actually lost the Latino vote.” That took some work, but McAuliffe accomplished it.

Teixeira also points out that Hispanic voters moved in large numbers to Trump between 2016 and 2020. And not just in Florida and Texas — the shift was also seen in Wisconsin, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia.

Finally, many Hispanic voters are repelled by the anti-Americanism of some progressives. Hispanics in a recent survey “said they would rather be a citizen of the United States than any other country in the world and by 35 points said they were proud of the way American democracy works,” Teixeira notes. Such opinions, he adds, “contrasted starkly with the negative views of progressive activists.”
