Why Joe Biden Saw Mixed Success With Latinos
Democrats' long-term hopes for electoral success have
long cited the growing Latino population in the country. But
former Vice President Joe Biden's performance in heavily Latino
areas of key states has concerned members of his party — and
may have cost him Electoral College votes, according to groups
and activists working to mobilize Latino voters.
Nationally, Biden appears to have gotten support from
roughly twice as many Latino voters as President Trump, but that
support looked very different depending on where you looked in
three key states with large Latino populations.
Democrats were pleased with their performance in
Arizona, where The Associated Press awarded Biden the state's
11 electoral votes early Wednesday morning, while anxiety ran
high about the results in Florida, where President Trump's
strength with conservative Cuban American voters helped secure
him that state's 29 electoral votes, according to AP. And while
Texas was a long shot for Biden, Democrats had seen
opportunity in the explosive growth in the state's Latino
population.
During a post-election virtual press conference on
Wednesday, leaders from groups aimed at mobilizing Latino
voters expressed frustration that the votes of Latinos were not
more aggressively pursued, even as they cheered record levels of
turnout among Latinos in some key states.
