Poll: More minority voters in Texas to vote for Trump
SUMMARY: Following the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance emerged as the official GOP presidential ticket. The convention showcased increased diversity, aiming to attract minority voters amid shifts in polling data showing a potential decline in Democratic support among Black and Hispanic voters in Texas. Notable Republican figures, including Congressman Wesley Hunt and Mayor Eric Johnson, addressed the convention, emphasizing public safety and economic concerns. Analysts suggest demographic trends indicate a pivot among younger voters and that both parties must rethink their branding. The Republican strategy focuses on appealing to these changing dynamics as the election approaches.
New polling shows an increasing number of Black and Hispanic voters in Texas are planning to vote for former president Donald Trump in November. FOX 4’s Steven Dial, FOX 26’s Greg Groogan and FOX 7’s Rudy Koski discuss the trend and what it means going forward for both parties. NOTE: This was recorded before President Biden ended his reelection campaign.
