| Democrats rode to victory with Latino voters in the 2025 New Jersey governor’s race, crushing GOP hopes of a “permanent shift” and proving that Republicans’ empty promises fell flat. Governor-elect Sherrill flipped 18% of Latino Trump voters and swept every major Latino county in the state.
DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“The Latino vote needs to be earned every election, and this election proved Latinos are not falling for Republican lies. Democrats are fighting for — and winning — every vote.”
The New York Times: Maps Show How Latinos Who Shifted Right in 2024 Snapped Back Left in 2025
- In the recent New Jersey governor’s race, the Democratic Party clawed back much of the ground it had lost with Hispanic voters in the 2024 presidential race, according to a township-level analysis of results by The New York Times.
- The results are stark: The heavily Hispanic areas that shifted the most to the left in 2025 were virtually a mirror image of the places that had swung the farthest to the right in 2024. The outcome suggests that President Trump’s surge of support among Hispanic voters last year may have been fleeting, or at least not transferable to other candidates in his party.
- The New Jersey governor’s race was the first big test of how enduring those changes might be.
