To reach Latinos, some Democrats pivot to talk more about the economy and less about immigration
- Democrats are shifting their 2024 message toward economic issues to better engage Latino voters in key states like Florida and Arizona.
- This pivot follows leaders like Tom Perez and Alex Berrios saying Democrats overfocused on immigration and identity politics, missing core economic concerns driving Latino voters.
- Latino voters prioritized affordability above all else, with nearly half citing inflation and about three-quarters of Latino Trump supporters deeply worried about housing costs.
- In May, a poll conducted by AP-NORC revealed that just over one-third of Hispanic adults support Trump’s management of the economy, leading Democrats to enhance their economic messaging ahead of early primary elections such as New Jersey’s.
- This strategic shift suggests Democrats seek to counter Latino voters' rightward drift by emphasizing broad economic issues rather than primarily immigration-focused messages.
