.GovRonDeSantis 'vibes' could pull Florida Latinos away from Trump, GOP operatives say
The Latino vote was critical to Trump's victories in Florida in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. Meanwhile, Latinos were by far the fastest-growing voter bloc over the last two years.According to the Pew Research Center, roughly 34.5 million Hispanic Americans were eligible to vote in 2022, up more than 4.7 million compared to the prior election, and accounted for 62% of all new eligible voters heading into the November midterm elections.
The operative explained to the Washington Examiner on Wednesday that the governor's stock skyrocketed among Miami's young Latino professionals after he"took a stand" and refused to shut down businesses due to COVID-19. Three other Latino GOP operatives said DeSantis and Trump have nearly identical platforms and that Latino voters could swing to DeSantis amid Trump's ongoing legal problems.Polling does show that Florida Latinos do lean significantly more conservative than Latinos in other states.
