In The New York Sun, Michael Barone discusses the wave of minority voters registering as Republicans. He writes:
Not everything significant politically is happening just in the target states.
“Never seen anything like this in thirty years,” said California Republican consultant Mike Madrid in an X post, referencing the sharp increase in Republican registration among California’s minority voters, including the state’s numerous Latinos, growing numbers of Asians, and decreasing number of Blacks.
This is especially evident among Latinos, as shown by mock elections in the state’s majority-Hispanic public schools, in which President Trump got 18 percent of voters in 2020 and 35 percent so far this year.
These changes are not going to make California go Republican on November 5, but they’re part of a nationwide Republican trend among so-called minorities that may help Trump carry several target states with large percentages of Hispanics — Arizona and Nevada — and Blacks — Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Definitive confirmation of what has been scattered evidence comes from the latest, very highly rated New York Times/Siena poll, which oversampled Hispanics and Blacks. The outlet’s chief political analyst, Nate Cohn, reported last weekend that Trump is trailing Vice President Harris by 78 percent to 15 percent among Blacks and by only 56 percent to 37 percent among Hispanics.
Trump, Mr. Cohn said, “might well return to the White House by faring better among Black and Hispanic voters combined than any Republican presidential nominee since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.”
