Latino voters swing left in midterm elections, lifting Democrats to big wins in Texas and nationwide
Latino support for Democrats rose nearly 20 points since 2024, helping the party flip statewide offices and several congressional seats, pollsters said.
- As of Wednesday, more than 39 million Americans had cast early ballots in the midterm elections, according to the University of Florida Election Lab and the Associated Press, with several states outpacing their 2022 participation rates.
- Texas has emerged as a critical battleground with 5.6 million ballots cast as of Wednesday morning, positioning the state to determine which party controls the Senate for the remainder of President Donald Trump's presidency.
- Hispanic voter participation is surging, with 3.8 million ballots cast nationwide as of Tuesday according to TargetSmart, a Democratic data firm, marking an increase from 2.35 million Hispanic voters by this point in 2022.
- Figures released Thursday show 44 percent of early ballots in states with party registration came from Democrats, 31.2 percent from Republicans, and 24.7 percent from voters with no party affiliation.
- President Trump has encouraged voters to "pretend" he is on the ballot to boost GOP campaigns, while the Democratic Party targets voter frustration with living costs to potentially flip the balance of power in Congress.
