What impact does the shifting Latino vote have on Republican redistricting strategies in states like Texas and Florida?
Republicans built parts of their 2026 strategy, including newly drawn House districts in Texas and Florida, based on the assumption that the historic Latino gains made by Donald Trump in 2024 would endure. The current sharp move back toward Democrats by Latino voters is complicating those strategic bets in key races.

What specific factors are cited as reasons for the shift in Latino voter sentiment away from Donald Trump's policies?
