60. Texas is a majority Hispanic state

Thu Jul 17, 2025, 07:02 PM

Jul 17

And as we are all aware from the 2024 election, lots of Hispanic voters are conservative and vote republican.

Uvalde, where the school shooting happened a few years back, is very much a deep red republican stronghold and something like 80% Hispanic. Unfortunately, there are lots of people of all backgrounds in Texas who support republicans. And also plenty of democrats, particularly in the blue urban areas like Austin, Houston and Dallas.
