Texas ‘Triple Threat’ Leads Hispanic Voters’ Seismic Shift Toward GOP
Republican Mayra Flores’s special election victory Tuesday is the latest of the mounting evidence that Hispanic voters are inching away from the Democrat Party.
Flores defeated Democrat Dan Sanchez by eight points in the heavily Hispanic 34th District, becoming the first Mexican-born woman in Congress and the first Republican to represent the Rio Grande Valley in roughly 150 years.
Now she, along with two other Republicans, Cassy Garcia and Monica De La Cruz, have found themselves at the forefront of an undeniable national trend as they work to redden the three districts covering Texas’s southern-most point.
“The red wave is here,” Garcia told Breitbart News on Friday.

Latino voters went for Biden over Trump by 2:1. https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/exit-polls/president/national-results
In 2018, they went for Democrats 69% to 29%. https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/exit-polls
@no1marauder saidYeah there is a strange strain of far Left Catholicism down there in Latin America.
Hispanics are more likely to be Catholic, which has split its vote almost down the middle in recent elections. Protestants, esp. evangelicals, are strongly Republican.

@sonhouse saidGeeez, you don't suppose that is a story in any other news source, do you? Very convenient excuse to DENY.

@earl-of-trumps saidThe Left has been surging in Latin America; Colombia, traditionally a very conservative country, just elected an ex-Marxist guerilla as its President, and Chile, Peru and Honduras all elected leftist Presidents in 2021.
As far as I can see, the populations from Mexico down to Argentina/Chile, ALL Catholic.
