Hispanic GOP Candidates Expect Impact on Midterm Election

Republicans Target Latino Vote in Midterms

The Republican Party aims to secure the Latino vote in the upcoming midterm elections, leveraging recent successes with Hispanic voters. Notable candidates include Judge Tano Tijerina, who is challenging Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar in Texas, alongside other Hispanic Republicans in competitive districts. Tijerina criticizes Cuellar for prioritizing personal gain over constituents’ needs, while Cuellar defends his record of bringing federal funds to South Texas. The race highlights a shift in Hispanic political alignment, particularly in response to the Biden administration’s policies.
