Between Trump and Harris: Latinos Ahead of the 2024 Election
DW (2024)
Film Review
According to exit polls, Trump won 45% of the Hispanic vote,* an 13-point increase from 2020 and a record high for a Republican presidential nominee.
In this short documentary, filmmakers visit Hispanic communities in Florida, California and Philadelphia, interviewing both Trump and Harris supporters. A common observation in all communities is that Hispanic support for Democrats has declined significantly.
Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016, lost it in 2020 (owing to the sudden appearance overnight of bundles of mail-in ballots) and won it again this year.
The most interesting Trump supporter interviewed is a Latina immigration attorney in Florida who works to help Hispanic immigrants immigrate legally to the US.
