For many immigrants, voting for Donald Trump and the Republican Party represented a focus on issues like inflation, the economy, and education—priorities that to many immigrant voters seemed like the safer choice.
Voting data shows significant shifts in areas with large immigrant populations. For example, in Allentown, PA, the Democratic margin dropped by 18 points from 2016 to 2024.
Many Democrats were left asking: Why, despite the President-elect's anti-immigrant rhetoric, would so many immigrants and Latinos vote Republican? The answer is that immigrants are increasingly prioritizing economic issues.
