In a recent interview, journalist Paola Ramos suggested that Latinos who support Republican candidate Donald Trump is a reflection of "internalized racism", as she believes the former president "can sort of tap into a racial and ethnic grievance that is very familiar" to the demographic. Theories around the shift of Latinos to the right abound, but the fact is clear: Kamala Harris lags behind the historic threshold needed for Democratic candidates to win the presidency.
The shift in Latino ideology has also affected the media landscape as Fox News, who has traditionally amassed a mostly White audience, reached more Latino viewers last quarter than its cable news rivals.
