Summary

To cap off our 2024 election coverage, The Latino Factor: How We Vote, Latino USA teamed up with Futuro Media’s political podcast In The Thick to bring you a special episode. In the election that many Americans said was “the most important of their lifetimes,” Maria Hinojosa spends the day speaking to voters, students, journalists and movement leaders across the country. Later Maria is joined by journalists Paola Ramos, Jean Guerrero and Jamil Smith to unpack why Trump won the elections—including the popular vote—with increased support from Latinos.

This story is part of our special election coverage: The Latino Factor: How We Vote.
