As Kamala Harris has been steadily gaining popularity among Latino voters, especially in battleground states, a new report reveals that she is still lagging behind the historic Latino-voter threshold Democrats have needed to win the presidency in the past 50 years.
The analysis provided by Axios, explains that over the last half century Democratic presidential candidate have usually needed to secure at least 64% of the Latino vote to win, while Harris' support currently sits along the mid-to upper-50s. As Latinos today comprise nearly 20% of the U.S. population, their support is crucial for both parties' chances of victory come November.
