Exit polling indicates that 55% of Latino voters in Texas voted for Trump. Democrats and election experts blamed poor messaging from Kamala Harris' campaign.
Despite growing up in a liberal Mexican American household in Houston ’s Denver Harbor neighborhood, Tessie Kempenski hasn’t supported a Democrat in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976. For decades, the 67-year-old has been an outlier as a Republican -supporting Latina , but when she woke up to the news Wednesday that Donald Trump had regained the White House — with unprecedented levels of Latino support nationwide — she felt vindicated.
Democrats’ losses were most pronounced in South Texas, a Latino stronghold where Biden won half of the 22 Texas counties he carried in 2020. This year, Harris won just four of those counties, and a total of 12 across the state. Even in urban areas such as Harris County, however, Harris appeared to lose ground. Many heavily Latino precincts in the southeast and north Houston areas were decided by razor-thin margins.
