Les électeurs latinos « en colère » peuvent-ils coûter les législatives à Trump ?

Les électeurs latinos pourraient peser de manière décisive sur le parti qui contrôlera le Congrès après les élections de mi-mandat de novembre. En 2024, 48 % d'entre eux avaient soutenu Donald Trump, un record pour un candidat républicain. La hausse des prix du carburant et les effets de la politique migratoire sur des résidents de longue date font toutefois débat. Le Texas, où s'affrontent James Talarico et Ken Paxton, illustre cet enjeu. Selon les stratèges Mike Madrid et Chuck Rocha, ces électeurs se détournent surtout des deux partis plutôt que de changer de camp.

• Les électeurs latinos pourraient influencer le contrôle du Congrès après les midterms de novembre.
• En 2024, 48 % des Latinos ont voté pour Donald Trump, un record pour un républicain.
• Au Texas, la course au Sénat oppose James Talarico (démocrate) à Ken Paxton (républicain) pour séduire cet électorat.

Latino voters could decide which party controls Congress after November’s midterm elections. Two years ago, 48% of them voted for Donald Trump, a record for a Republican presidential candidate. But with fuel prices still high, and his immigration crackdown affecting families who have lived in the US for a long time, is that support slipping away? Justin and Anthony discuss the campaign in Texas, where the Senate race is becoming a fight to win over Latino voters. Trump has mocked the Democratic candidate James Talarico for being vegan (though he isn’t), and Talarico has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging his Republican rival Ken Paxton to a TV debate on Fox News. Justin then talks to Mike Madrid and Chuck Rocha, the Republican and Democratic strategists behind The Latino Vote podcast. They say Latino voters are angry, mostly about the economy. Mike argues that they are drifting away from both parties rather than switching sides, and that Trump’s immigration enforcement has backfired on the Republicans. Chuck, who works for the Talarico campaign, warns Democrats against complacency: Latino voters turning against Trump might not translate into lasting support for the party. 00:00:00 - Why Latino voters are ‘angry’ 00:01:05 - Are Republicans losing Latino voters? 00:04:42 - Are Democrats misreading a Latino shift? 00:07:51 - What do Latino voters actually want? 00:09:02 - Latino voters could decide the midterms 00:14:00 - What do Mike and Chuck actually disagree on? 00:18:08 - James Talarico vs Ken Paxton for Texas Subscribe to our channel here: https://bbc.in/bbcnews For the latest news download the BBC News app or visit BBC.com/news #BBCNews
