A post-mortem analysis of the 2020 election has found that Latino voters played a meaningful role in tipping the Senate and the presidency to the Democrats, but that former President Donald J. Trump’s concerted effort to peel away Latino support delivered significant results for him across the country — not just in certain geographic pockets. Released Friday by the left-leaning research firm Equis Labs, the report found that certain demographics within the Hispanic electorate proved especially willing to embrace Mr. Trump as the 2020 campaign went on, including conservative Latino voters with only a slight engagement in politics. By the end of the campaign, conservative Latinas had grown not only more supportive of Mr. Trump, but also markedly more motivated to participate in the election. The study also found that within these groups, there was a shift toward Mr. Trump across the country, not just in areas like Miami or the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, where the growth in Mr. Trump’s Latino support has been widely reported.
