Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In the recent election, President-elect Donald Trump gained significant support from Latino and Black voters, pivotal in his victory over Kamala Harris. Notable shifts were seen in swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Texas, where Trump captured historic percentages among Latino voters, including a decisive win in Starr County, traditionally a Democratic stronghold.
