ICYMI: Democrats’ Latino Voter Collapse Sparks Full-Blown Party Civil War

In case you missed it, a new report highlights the growing Democrat infighting pushing away Hispanic voters as Republicans continue making historic gains with Latino communities who are fed up with Democrats’ far-left agenda, rising costs, open borders, and out of touch policies.

The Democratic Party is facing new internal divisions amid declining support among Hispanic voters. Alongside slipping voter support within this demographic, several disputes involving Hispanic candidates have emerged, with some openly criticizing Democratic leadership. On the other side, the Republican Party is increasingly backing Hispanic candidates in key races as they seek to preserve and expand their gains with this demographic group.

By contrast, Democrats are watching a voting bloc they long considered a secure part of their coalition become increasingly competitive. So found a recent poll by The Economist/YouGov.

Another example comes from Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, where Democrats hope to unseat Republican Ryan Mackenzie. In that race, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) backed Bob Crooks over Hispanic candidate Carol Obando-Derstine. Many local Democrats slammed the DCCC for intervening in the primary on behalf of Crooks, president of the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association.

By contrast, the Republican Party is increasingly backing Hispanic candidates in key races.

The central goal is to capitalize on growing support among Hispanic voters in competitive districts. To do so, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has made a significant effort to recruit competitive Hispanic candidates across the country. So far, only four have secured official endorsements from both President Trump and the NRCC: Eric Flores (TX-34), Tano Tijerina (TX-28), Kevin Lincoln (CA-13) and Greg Cunningham (NM-02).

In an interview with VOZ, NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson, stated that Hispanics are the “most important” voting bloc for Republicans.
