Red, White and Who? The Swing Voters in South Texas

“Red, White and Who?” The Journal’s election mini-series is back to cover the midterms. Every Wednesday, Ryan Knutson (wsj.com/news/author/ryan-knutson?mod=WSJ_TJPOD) talks with reporters around the country about issues important to voters.

This week: In 2024, President Trump made historic gains with voters in South Texas, especially Latinos (wsj.com/politics/elections/how-talarico-won-ov…). Now, many of these same voters are souring on the president and his party and considering swinging to Democrats in this year’s midterms. WSJ’s Elizabeth Findell (wsj.com/news/author/elizabeth-findell?mod=WSJ_…) and producer Matt Kwong (wsj.com/news/author/matt-kwong?mod=WSJ_TJPOD) talk to voters there about Trump, the senate race between James Talarico (wsj.com/politics/policy/talarico-is-out-fundra…) and Ken Paxton (wsj.com/politics/elections/republicans-growing…), and the issues that matter to them.
