And Democrats say Trump cant get Hispanic votes, lol.
This also shows that working-class Hispanics tend to vote more like working middle-class whites when their economic interests are involved.

President Trump flipped five Hispanic majority Texas counties during the 2020 election, including a 94% Hispanic county that hadn’t voted for a Republican since 1920.
Trump's gains in Hispanic counties were not limited to the five he flipped. Twelve other majority-Hispanic counties that Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won in 2016 saw Trump make double-digit gains in 2020. Clinton won Starr County, which has a 96.4% Hispanic population, by 60.2 points in 2016. Trump lost Starr county by only 5 points in 2020, a whopping 55.2 point swing. Maverick County, a 95.1% Hispanic county Clinton won by 55.8 points in 2016, went to presumed President-elect Joe Biden by just 9.4 points — a 46.4 point swing toward Trump.
“One of the biggest surprises of the 2020 election was Zapata County, TX,” Sabato’s Crystal Ball Editor J. Miles Coleman said on Twitter. “Trump became the first R pres. nominee since 1920 to carry this 94% Hispanic county. He got 2,032 votes there, double his 1,029 in 2016. Not a huge county, but Zapata was emblematic of his gains in the RGV.”
