Over 32 million Latinos were eligible to vote during the recent Presidential election.Early estimates indicate that nearly 15 Million Latinos voted including a record number 3.6 Million during early voting. Latinos under the age of 30 also came out in record numbers to vote including first time voters.
Both President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden benefited from the high turnout of Latino voters across the US. Yet the support they received from this diverse and complex electorate of about 32 million people -- and why -- varied in different parts of the country.
A nationwide CNN exit poll shows that Biden captured 66% of the group across the country, which is the same that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton received four years ago. Trump picked up more Latino voters with 32%, compared to 28% in 2016.
The fact remains our Latino community is not monolithic.
