Wade could energize Hispanics to vote <em>more<\/em> <em>heavily<\/em> for Republican candidates. Already Latino voters \u2014 many of whom are Catholic \u2014 are trending conservative. One of the biggest surprises of the 2020 presidential election was the loss of Hispanic support for Democrats <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/latino\/trump-s-gains-among-latino-voters-shouldn-t-come-surprise-n1246463\">in key battleground states such as Florida and Texas<\/a>. Although Biden won the overall Latino vote in both states, Trump saw an 11-point gain among Hispanics in Florida, while Texas\u2019 once mightily Democratic Rio Grande Valley region saw major Republican surges. Two counties in particular illustrate this trend: In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2020\/11\/04\/joe-biden-texas-border-democrats\/\">won Hidalgo County<\/a>, home to the heavily Hispanic city of McAllen, by 17% compared to a 40% win by Hillary Clinton in 2016. In Zapata County, meanwhile, Trump won outright by 5% \u2014 a stunning reversal in a district Clinton took by 33% in 2016 and Obama by 43% in 2012. <\/p>\n<p>This shift will be put to the test on May 24 in Texas\u2019 heavily Hispanic 28th District, where a run-off election pits two Latino Democrats \u2014 pro-choice human-rights lawyer Jessica Cisneros, 28, and pro-life incumbent Henry Cuellar, 66 \u2014 against each other.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/primary-election.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"A voting station in McAllen, Texas, on election day in November 2020.
