Republicans in this year’s US presidential election gained ground with Latino voters, a fast-growing electorate in which more than a million become old enough to vote each year. Many of those voters, dissatisfied with inflation’s eruption since the pandemic, voted for Trump in a rebuke to Biden. Trump’s policies likely won’t improve Latino livesAll eyes will be on the economy during Trump’s second administration. A majority of Latino voters don’t feel beholden to any party and prioritize issues over candidates, according to a report from the Latino Donor Collaborative. Ana Valdez, president of the Latino Donor Collaborative, said that Republicans made a greater investment in Latino voters this year, which included booking Spanish-language ads as well as pointing to high inflation.

John Leguizamo is an Emmy and Tony award-winning actor, and he's calling out Hollywood. In an open letter to Hollywood, he says it's way past time that Latinos have more lead roles. In an "Open Letter to Hollywood" published in the LA Times, Leguizamo said the time for more Latino representation in film, TV, and plays is way past overdue. Leguizamo argued that the absence of Latinos onscreen isn't even reflective of the city in which Hollywood resides. Latino representation also means including Latinos of all hues, since "more often than not," the Latinos who are cast in major roles are "white-passing."
Despite the growth and consumer power of U.S. Latinos, they continue to be significantly underrepresented in media, according to a new report. On TV shows, Latinos made up 3.1% of lead actors, 2.1% of co-leads/ensemble actors and 1.5% of showrunners. There are no Latino CEOs or film and production company chairs, important decision-making roles that help greenlight stories and steer content. Amid the lack of representation, more Latinos are turning to social media platforms and brands for content, such as YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat, the report found. The report also noted that 11 of the 20 most streamed songs of the summer, according to Spotify, are by Latino artists.
