‘It’s Across the Map!’ CNN’s Harry Enten Stunned by ‘Explosion of Latino Support for Donald Trump’
CNN’s Harry Enten marveled at President-elect Donald Trump’s performance with Latino voters on Wednesday morning, observing that the movement toward him comes from “across the map” and “across different parts of the Latino electorate.”
Prompted by anchor John Berman, Enten dove into the CNN exit polls.
“What do we see in Pennsylvania among Latino voters? Look at this, Kamala Harris won Latinos in Pennsylvania, but just by 15 points. If you go back four years ago among Latinos in Pennsylvania, Joe Biden’s margin was, get this, John, 42 points. We are talking the fact that Joe Biden-, excuse me, that Donald Trump was able to slice that margin by more than half, by more than half in Pennsylvania,” began Enten. “How about Florida, which you were talking about with our dear friend Phil over there? How about here, Donald Trump winning among Latinos in Florida by 18 points. So you might say, you know, Latinos and Florida Cubans, as you two were pointing out, it wasn’t just Cubans. But keep in mind, four years ago, Joe Biden carried Latinos in the great state of Florida. So Donald Trump flipped it.”
“We are seeing this movement across the map. It’s not just among Latinos who are from, say, Puerto Rico or Cubans. It’s across the map! It’s across different parts of the Latino electorate,” he continued. “Donald Trump, simply put, doing better than he did four years ago. And, you know, you’re making that comparison to four years ago. Remember, eight years ago, Latinos were one of the biggest trouble spots for, for Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton. Miami-Dade, he lost that by, what, 30 points four, eight years ago? Tonight or last night, he carried Miami-Dade. We’re just seeing this explosion of Latino support for Donald Trump. And the bottom line is we’ve been talking about realignment, realignment, realignment. Among Hispanics, definitely realignment.”
“This is what realignment looks like, the definition of political realignment,” agreed Berman.
