Democratic Sen.-elect Ruben Gallego recently criticized his own party for their handling of Latino outreach following President-elect Donald Trump's significant gains with the demographic in the 2024 election. Gallego, who has represented Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District since 2015, won the Senate seat by defeating Republican nominee Kari Lake.
In a recent interview, Gallego highlighted the importance of understanding the working-class Latino community, emphasizing that many Democrats may not fully grasp the concerns of this demographic. He pointed out that Democrats often surround themselves with like-minded individuals, potentially leading to a disconnect with working-class Latinos.
