Latino voters swing left in midterm elections, lifting Democrats to big wins in Texas and nationwide

In the midterm elections, Latino voters shifted their support toward Democratic candidates. This shift proved significant in Texas, where Democrats won races for governor, lieutenant governor, and senator—breaking Republican control in the state. Latino voters in majority-Latino districts near San Antonio and along the border played a key role in these Democratic victories. Democrats also gained in House races across the country as a result of this voting pattern.
