In addition to what others have mentioned, Trump’s gains were much stronger among rural Latinos. What’s unclear, in addition to whether the 2016-2020 trend will continue, stop, or revert somewhat, is how much room for growth is left. In Texas, the huge swing in the Rio Grande wasn’t enough to offset Democratic gains in the cities and suburbs, including Bexar, which has a very large Latino population. Since I doubt Starr county is going to swing another 55 points to the right in 2024, Republicans should still be concerned about Texas. Florida is a different story, but the voting patterns of Mexican Americans and Cuban Americans are not even that comparable.
