Kamala Harris is facing a critical challenge in Pennsylvania, where her performance with the state's 580,000 registered Latino voters could sway the largest battleground state in the 2024 election. Latino political and business leaders have privately warned Harris' campaign that outreach to Latino voters, especially men, is lacking. Despite Harris' broader appeal to voters of color, concerns persist about her traction with the group, increasingly drawn to Donald Trump.
Recent polling shows a long-term erosion in Democratic support among Latino voters nationwide, including in swing states like Nevada and Arizona. Pennsylvania is no exception, and even modest gains by Trump with Latino men could impact the results. While Harris is expected to secure a majority of Latino votes in Pennsylvania, the narrowing gap is a reason for concern in the Harris campaign.
