What happened
Latino voters moved sharply toward the Democratic Party during the midterm elections, reversing a trend from 2024. NBC News Exit Poll found six in ten Latino voters supported Democrats, a nine point increase compared with the 2024 presidential elections. This shift was driven by concerns over the cost of living, including grocery, housing, and gasoline expenses.

Why it matters
The shift propelled Democrats to an electoral sweep in Texas and in battleground House races. Reports indicate that rising prices and inflation were top concerns for Latino voters, who want Congress and the White House to actively address these issues.
