President Donald Trump won more than half of foreign-born Hispanic voters in the 2024 election, marking a historic shift toward the Republican Party in a demographic long considered Democratic, according to a new Pew Research Center study.
The post-election analysis, based on a nationally representative sample of nearly 9,000 verified voters, also found that Trump won 48% of the overall Hispanic vote — a sharp increase from 36% in 2020 and 28% in 2016.
Trump’s gains were strong across the board. He carried 50% of Hispanic men and 46% of Hispanic women, while also earning 15% of the Black vote and 40% of the Asian vote.
The results reflect a broader trend of foreign-born voters shifting decisively to the right, with immigration emerging as a driving issue.
Earlier this month, CNN data analyst Harry Enten noted that no demographic shifted more between 2020 and 2024 than foreign-born Americans. The issue of immigration was a key factor.
“Among the group that you would think would be most opposed to this, in fact, they have become increasingly favorable — not just toward Donald Trump — but toward the Republican point of view on immigration,” Enten said June 10.
As CatholicVote previously reported, Trump’s favorability among immigrant citizens has climbed steadily: 36% in 2016, 39% in 2020, and 47% in 2024.
