Summary
Much has been said about Latino men after the presidential election, but a lot of it lacks context. In order to deepen our understanding of Latino manhood and its influence in the United States at this moment, we are launching a new series, "Hombre: Understanding Latino Men" today. The series features nuanced conversations with a diverse group of hombres latinos.
Our first guest is political consultant and Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha. He sits down with Maria Hinojosa to unpack why Latino men shifted further right in 2024 and how the Democratic Party failed to reach these voters.
