CA-20, CA-21, CA-22: Latino Support for Trump Is Up for Grabs in California Farm Country
Control of Congress may well run through California’s Central Valley.
A massive expanse of cow pastures, citrus and almond trees and large pickup trucks speeding down open highways through the middle of the state, it is one of the largest farming communities in the country.
Its electorate is also increasingly Latino, as the children and grandchildren of Mexican immigrants have become voting citizens. For years, Democrats saw the region as pivotal to their success, believing that eventually — inevitably — it would cement their power in the state.
The 2024 election proved how wrong that calculus was. Just as they did across the country, Latino voters in the agricultural heart of California shifted toward Republicans. GOP leaders celebrated the multiracial coalition they called the beginning of a political revolution.
