The post Latinos Shift Back To Democrats In Tuesday’s Electicom. Topline Latino voters overwhelmingly broke for Democratic gubernatorial candidates in Tuesday’s election, indicating President Donald Trump’s gains with the demographic in the 2024 election may be eroding. New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) (C) celebrates with lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Dale Caldwell (R) after their win during an election night watch party at the Hilton East Brunswick Hotel on November 4, 2025 in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Both Democratic candidates in Tuesday’s gubernatorial races, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Rep. Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey, won Latinos by 2-1 margins, according to NPR, citing exit polls. Sherrill won in the three New Jersey counties with the largest Latino populations-she carried Passaic by 15 points (Trump won by three points in 2024), she won Hudson County by 50 points (Harris won by 28) and she won Cumberland by four points, equal to Trump’s win there in 2024, according to NBC. Sherrill won all 10 New Jersey counties where one in five people are Latino, and she flipped three Trump won, NPR reported. The trend in New Jersey marks a notable shift away from Trump, who gained ground last year in all 29 New Jersey townships with a majority Hispanic population, which swung in Trump’s favor by an average of 25 points in 2024 compared to the 2020 election, The New York Times noted. In Manassas Park, Virginia, where Latinos make up 46% of the population, Spanberger outperformed Harris’ 2024 showing by 22 points, Associated.
