a big part of this race, and for me a big part of what makes the both of these races interesting, there are states where they let them play and absolutely critical roles. we ll talk about the latino vote on election night. we re going to see movement out of florida, potentially something from the rio grande valley. if republicans were to make the argument that there is a political realignment underway, then they are going to have to prove it with significant gains in arizona and in nevada. on election night, until we see results from those two states, and i think we can write that. but they have been towards republicans since the last election, so that said 30%. that is been the point of entry. part of why it s been the point of entry is that in 2016, people were very surprised by donald trump s success among latino voters. very diverse in a number of ways. he was getting about 30% of the vote. 2020, he was getting closer to 40% of that vote. the question is, is their movement in t
