President Donald Trump and his Republican allies made significant inroads with Latino voters in Tuesday’s election, alarming some Democrats who warned that immigration politics alone was not enough to hold their edge with the nation’s largest minority group.
Trump's strong performance with Cuban Americans in South Florida narrowed the traditional Democratic edge in Miami-Dade County and helped put Florida in Trump's column early Tuesday.
In Texas, Trump won tens of thousands of new supporters in predominantly Mexican American communities along the border. A GOP win in a heavily Latino New Mexico congressional district suggested a surge of Republican-leaning support there.
