Latino voters make up the second-largest voting bloc in the U.S., a key group that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump both need to appeal to for a better chance at winning in November.

According to data gathered by the Pew Research Center, it’s estimated that 36.2 million Latinos are eligible to vote in the 2024 presidential election. While data suggests Latino voters across the country voted for President Joe Biden by very wide margins in 2020, Trump gained support among Latino voters in 2020, earning a higher percentage of voters than he did in 2016.
