Latinos shifting to Trump because they have 'internalized racism,' journalist claims
The Democratic advantage with Latino voters is at its lowest level in the past four presidential election cycles, according to NBC News

Journalist and MSNBC contributor Paola Ramos, daughter of Jorge Ramos, blamed "internalized racism" for why Latinos are leaving the Democratic Party and supporting former President Trump. Ramos appeared on PBS' "Amanpour & Company" this week to address the trend covered in her new book, "Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means."
Trump appears to be outperforming his 2020 support among Latinos who prefer the Republican over Vice President Kamala Harris on handling the economy and immigration.
The Democratic Party's advantage with these voters is shrinking, according to NBC News, whose poll last week found the Democrats' edge is at its lowest level in the past four presidential election cycles.
