4 Latino Groups Merge to Reclaim Hispanic Voters After Trump's 46% Support Among Latino Men
3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · May 14
Four major Latino civil rights and political groups are launching a merger this month, pooling canvassing, messaging and voter data to rebuild Democratic support among Hispanic voters before the midterms.
The alliance joins UnidosUS Action Fund, Mi Familia Vota, LULAC and the Latino Victory Project around a centralized battleground map after years of operating separately and often competing for donors.
The push follows a 2024 shift toward Republicans despite a $50 million effort to elect Kamala Harris; Trump won 46% of Latino men, underscoring Democrats' erosion with a key voting bloc.
For older groups such as LULAC and UnidosUS, the merger marks a return to grassroots, door-to-door organizing as Latino leaders try to blunt Republican gains that reshaped the electoral map.
As Latino groups centralize voter lists, how will they protect them from federal data demands?
Will focusing on economic issues be enough to unify a diverse Latino electorate?
Can traditional community organizing overcome the influence of AI-driven disinformation?
Latino Voter Swing 2025-2026: Democrats Rebound as GOP Faces Regret and Realignment After Trump’s Second Term
Overview
In 2025-2026, Latino voters have swung back toward the Democratic Party, reversing the trend that helped Donald Trump win his second term. This shift is linked to widespread regret among Trump’s 2024 voters, who are now splitting their support among different options instead of uniting behind a single alternative. Approval for Trump has also dropped sharply among working-class White voters. Many regretful Trump voters are less likely to support Harris or abstain, leading to more choosing 'someone else.' These changes highlight growing dissatisfaction and fragmentation among Trump’s former supporters, fueling the Democratic resurgence among Latino voters.
