A crisis is unfolding in the Democrat Party.
There is no easy way out of the turmoil.
And Democrats just received the one report about Donald Trump running in 2024 that they feared the most.
In 2020, Donald Trump shocked the political world by winning more of the Hispanic vote than previously predicted.
Even though the Democrats and the media spent four years trying to label Trump as a racist, according to a new post-election report by Pew Research, Trump won nearly 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2020.
And the reason why can be found in the details, as the data showed that Hispanics were not swayed by the Democrats’ identity-politics agenda.
In fact, Trump won new support among Hispanic voters because of his hardline stance on immigration.
“The story in South Texas: Republicans owned the border issue. In Texas, immigration stood out in a way it didn’t elsewhere in the country. Views on Trump’s immigration agenda powerfully sorted Hispanic independents between the two presidential candidates: hardliners with Trump, opponents with Biden,” Equis wrote.
Trump’s opposition to economy-crushing lockdowns also helped Trump pick up Hispanic voters, as they judged him to be better for the economy than Joe Biden.
“Who is perceived to be better for American workers? Democrats retain some natural credibility with Latino voters but have lost ground on workers, work and the American Dream; they’re also open to attack for taking Hispanics for granted; Republicans have some openings but are still held back by their image as the uncaring party of big corporations,” Equis added.
Democrats are also doing things to push Hispanics away, such as Squad members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar pushing the Party to embrace socialism.
“There isn’t one overriding concern about ‘socialism’— but a package of complaints usually rises to the top (around government control over people’s lives, raising taxes, and money going to ‘undeserving’ recipients). If a through-line exists, it is a worry over people becoming ‘lazy & dependent on government’ by those who highly value ‘hard work,’” Equis added.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, Donald Trump is currently winning 43 percent of the Hispanic vote in a hypothetical rematch against Joe Biden in 2024.
If Trump does run again in 2024, the new Equis Research report shows that Trump is likely to win an even higher percentage of the Hispanic vote than he did in 2020.
And political experts believe that Trump winning 40 percent or more of the Hispanic vote is enough to give Republicans a clear roadmap for victory.
