Latino voters from battleground states North Carolina and Pennsylvania are reacting to Donald Trump’s presidential win this week.
In Philadelphia, Juan Sanchez expressed his dissatisfaction with the Democratic party, stating that they are elected but fail to deliver on their promises. Sanchez believes that Trump's victory was necessary for the country, citing the government's performance as a disaster and the economy as ineffective. He emphasized that many people are tired of unfulfilled promises from Democrats.
Despite Sanchez's perspective, support for Trump among Latino voters reached a historic high in 2024, indicating a shift in political preferences within this demographic.
However, not all Latino voters share Sanchez's sentiments. Niwton Terrero, also from Philadelphia, expressed his concerns about the former president and his allies' remarks regarding Puerto Rico and Latinos. Terrero admitted feeling a sense of disdain as a Latino in response to these statements.
The diverse reactions among Latino voters highlight the complexity of political opinions within this community. While some view Trump's victory as a necessary change, others remain critical of his administration's rhetoric and policies towards Latinos and Puerto Ricans.
