Myth of the Monolith: The Latino Vote in Texas and Beyond

A record 32 million Latino Americans were eligible to vote in 2020 — making Latinos the nation's largest group of nonwhite voters for the first time in history. But the 2020 election showed that there is no such thing as the “Hispanic vote.” Nowhere was this more apparent than in Texas, where Donald Trump gained support among these voters, dashing Democrats’ hopes of flipping the state blue.

What can we learn from electoral outcomes in Texas and other battleground states like Florida and Arizona to better understand the differing interests, values, and cultural histories of voters within this broad bloc? What’s the distinction between Tejano and Latino? And what role does age, gender, location, and socioeconomic status play here?

Join panelists Matt Barretto, Sharon Navarro, Jason Villalba, and Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez for a discussion on these questions and more. Ray Suarez will moderate.

This event is produced in partnership with New York University’s John Brademas Center.
