Hispanic voters are natural conservatives. Reagan knew. GOP needs to prove it again
President Ronald Reagan famously told Hispanic adviser Lionel Sosa that Latinos were Republicans who "just don’t know it yet." President Donald Trump’s breakthrough in 2024 demonstrated that potential.
Key points
- LATINO VOTERS SWING BACK TO DEMOCRATS AHEAD OF MIDTERM ELECTIONS: POLL In Venezuela, Trump’s historic capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro opened the door to freedom.
- Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill expanded the child tax credit, created Trump Accounts, delivered "no tax on tips" relief for eligible workers and provided an additional senior deduction that helps more retirees avoid federal income taxes on Social Security.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s three-phase plan — stabilization, recovery and transition — must lead to a genuine democratic transition, culminating in free and fair elections as quickly as possible.
Do the hard work, and Republicans can earn back Hispanic voters’ confidence, creating a lasting, unbreakable majority-making coalition for years to come.
Hispanic voters registered among the largest shifts toward Republicans — then swung sharply against us in 2026, reversing much of that progress.
