Latinos

After Donald Trump's historic Republican performance with Latino voters in last November's presidential election, two new polls find him in a deep hole with that swing bloc just 100 days into his second presidency.

UnidosUS found that Spanish speakers deal with an average wait time of 54 minutes, whereas the wait averages 13 minutes for English speakers.

Being a ‘No Sabo Kid’ means that your Spanish is probably not perfect, or maybe you don’t know the language at all. Latinos use the term to shame others within the community because of their imperfect Spanish. But Latinos are now reclaiming the term to prove that language and Latino identity are not mutually exclusive.

Reaction in South Florida to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown has been far more muted than in his first term. That reflects both the rightward shift of Latino voters and a belief among some that restrictive border measures are necessary.

Owned and managed by the city of Miami, Domino Park, first established in 1976, remains a popular place to connect for all of South Florida’s Hispanic communities, and a must stop for tourists visiting Calle Ocho. The park has more than 3,000 members.

President-elect Donald Trump's 45% share of Latino voters set a record for a Republican presidential candidate — but the bigger surprise was his strong performance with Puerto Ricans, even after the "garbage" insult.

As they size up whom to cast their ballot for in the presidential election on Nov. 5, Hispanic voters nationwide are becoming more and more like other U.S. voters, focusing more attention on pocketbook issues, like the economy and inflation, said a leading expert on the nation’s Hispanic vote.

Latino voters and leaders say they are enthusiastic about Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee, but for her to win their crucial support, they want to know where she stands on issues like the economy, immigration and education.

Surveys and focus groups show that Latino voters, like other Americans, have warmed to more punitive measures on illegal immigration, and that more Latinos are saying they trust Trump and Republicans over President Joe Biden and Democrats to better handle migration at the Southern border.

COMMENTARY More Latinos today are apt to identify with a conservative white Cuban like Florida Senator Marco Rubio — so he's likely to be Donald Trump's running mate.

The presidential candidates are heavily courting Latino voters in 2024. Historically, they have backed Democrats, though that differs by place of ancestry. Could this year be different? Some polls show Latino support for Biden as low as 40%.

Trump's OAS ambassador, Miami's Carlos Trujillo, insists Florida Latinos see in Trump's conviction the rigged justice systems of some totalitarian Latin American countries.
