Latinos, Elections, Trump, African Americans, Voting BehaviorResumo
This article analyzes the electoral profile of Donald Trump's supporters among Latino and African American voters in the 2024 United States presidential election, examining how race, nationality, gender, religion, and social class shaped political choices. The study adopts a qualitative approach based on documentary analysis, literature review, and the examination of secondary data from electoral surveys and research institutes. The theoretical framework is grounded in Kimberlé Crenshaw's (1989) concept of intersectionality and Black feminist scholarship, combined with studies on electoral behavior and racial politics in the United States. The findings indicate that Republican gains among Latino and African American voters cannot be explained solely by racial identity, but also by economic, religious, and cultural factors. Increased support for Trump was observed among Black men, religious conservatives, and specific Latino groups, particularly Cuban Americans, Venezuelan Americans, and Colombian Americans. Inflation, cost of living, public safety concerns, and traditional values emerged as significant determinants of voting behavior. The study concludes that the 2024 election revealed growing political heterogeneity within these groups and the emergence of a more racially diverse Republican coalition, challenging homogeneous interpretations of minority voting behavior in the United States.
