NEW YORK CITY - The 2024 elections are set to be a tight race, and one in which Latinos are expected to play a decisive role. As Democrats and Republicans continue to invest millions of dollars in appealing to this electorate, Latinos are currently concerned with two particular issues— the economy and immigration.

Growing literature throughout this campaign cycle has overwhelmingly shown Latinos across different groups to be primarily concerned with the so-called "pocketbook issues", such as the cost of living, inflation and affordability.
