As the dust settles after an unprecedented election night, political analysts are attributing major demographic voting shifts, especially among Latino men, to Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

The Associated Press called the race for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris early Wednesday morning.

Nationally, fewer than half of Latino men voted for Harris, and this election marked a pronounced and historic gender gap between the votes of Latino men and women, according to the NBC News Exit Poll. Preliminary AP Vote Cast findings also hint that younger Black and Hispanic voters shifted right and voted for Trump.
