Why Texas Dems are forecasting a "Hispanic hurricane" in midterms

What happened: Texas Democrats are forecasting a "Hispanic hurricane" in the midterms, citing frustration with the economy and immigration policy and Trump's sagging approval ratings among Latinos. Republicans say Democratic enthusiasm remains muted. Key numbers: 39 million Hispanic Americans are eligible to vote, up about 5.2 million since 2022. Why it matters: Hispanics could prove pivotal in Texas' Senate and gubernatorial races, and the outcome could extend to competitive districts in California, Arizona, Florida and Pennsylvania with substantial Latino populations.
