Why Democrats are losing Black, Hispanic voters to the right

New data shows that Democrats’ longtime advantage with Black, Latino and Asian American voters has shrunk to its lowest point in more than 60 years creating a massive vulnerability for President Biden and congressional Democrats.

Why it matters: One of the most loyal parts of the Democratic coalition is suddenly in danger. Black and Hispanic men could vote Republican in numbers not seen since President Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected in the 1950s.

The big picture: Latinos, the nation’s largest non-white group, still lean Democratic. But they’ve been shifting Republican over the last two decades, and are no longer the slam-dunk Democrats they were in 1960 when JFK ran for president.

By the numbers: Democrats’ advantage among Black, Latino and Asian voters is at its lowest since 1960, Financial Times columnist and chief data reporter John Burn-Murdoch found by analyzing a massive set of polling data.

• A New York Times/Siena College poll out March 2 found that President Biden led former President Trump by just 56 points to 44 among non-white Americans.
• That’s a group Biden won by almost 50 points when the two men last fought it out for the White House in 2020, Burn-Murdoch points out.

The intrigue: The drop-off comes even after Trump made

So much to unpack here. I’ll start. Illegal immigrants are indeed replacing working class Blacks and Hispanics in the job market, along with AI. This is mostly mere assertion on my part, but many Blacks and Hispanics also seem to think so.
