States voted for trump

Trump-endorsed Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters said Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly’s (D-AZ) voting record will expose him to independents. Kelly’s voting record is a radical one despite the candidate trying to appear moderate. He has backed President Joe Biden’s legislative initiatives 94 percent of the time.

close Video Hispanic voters explain how and why Democrats lost their support Libre Initiative engagement director Tina Aviles and former Border Patrol agent Mark J. Garcia react to the White House ditching terms like 'Latinx' before the midterms. NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! Hispanics are among the biggest victims of the Biden economy. Runaway inflation acts as a painful regressive tax for those with lower incomes. The bad small-business climate hurts Latinos, who are far more likely to start businesses.

And the consequences of COVID-19 business restrictions still linger on Main Street. "[A] case of chicken used to be like 40 bucks, now it's 120 and keeps going up and up," says Gerson Velasquez, owner of … [Read more...] about Hispanics care more about economic issues than culture wars and GOP should pay attention
