Texas GOP redistricting bet on Latino support faces warning signs in new polls
Reported by AI Image generated by AI Fact checked
Republicans in Texas are advancing a congressional redistricting plan that assumes Latino voters will back the GOP at levels similar to, or higher than, those seen in the 2024 election. But surveys cited by UnidosUS and other researchers suggest rising discontent among Latino voters with Donald Trump and congressional Republicans, raising questions about the strategy’s durability heading into 2026.
Latino voters who shifted toward Donald Trump in 2024 moved back toward Democrats in last week’s off-year elections, with notable gains in New Jersey, Virginia and parts of California. The trend raises questions about the durability of Trump’s coalition amid economic unease and aggressive immigration enforcement, while giving Democrats fresh hope for 2026.

On-the-ground organizers and local officials describe muted enthusiasm and some logistical hurdles, even as both campaigns step up outreach.
