During Donald Trump’s first successful campaign for president, he famously said, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody — and I wouldn't lose voters.”
It proved to be truer than he ever would have imagined. They tolerated him bragging in 2016 about sexually assaulting women. After a campaign where he painted Mexicans broadly as drug dealers and rapists and a tenure in the White House where he separated immigrant children from their families, he improved his margins with Latino voters in 2020.
