Historically Democratic counties in Texas, particularly along the Rio Grande, swung dramatically towards Donald Trump, with many residents re-evaluating their political allegiances in recent elections.
The support for Trump in these regions marks a significant shift, with many Hispanic and working-class voters embracing the Republican candidate in areas that had been Democratic strongholds for generations.
Starr County, once reliably Democratic and lost by Trump to Clinton by 60 points in 2016, flipped Republican with a 16-point margin for Trump in the recent elections.
This phenomenon is not isolated to Texas; other states like Florida and New York also show a trend of Hispanic and working-class voters shifting towards the Republican Party.
