Forty-eight percent of Hispanic voters supported Donald Trump in 2024. He and his party ought to make a New Year’s resolution for 2026: Listen to Hispanic voters.
Ahead of the 2026 midterms, Republicans are bleeding Hispanic support, driven by frustrations over economic hardship and overreaching immigration enforcement.
Mr. Trump won record Hispanic support by promising durable solutions on immigration and the economy. Nearly a year later, the administration is taking an enforcement-only approach to immigration, deporting law-abiding long-term workers. This is destabilizing the workforce, straining local economies and pushing up prices. Agriculture, construction, elder care and hospitality especially are feeling the consequences.
