Polls show Latino voters in play as Rubio stays on the sidelines
Polls indicate that Republicans are struggling in the current midterm elections too maintain the notable gains they made among Latino voters during the previous cycle associated with Donald Trump. Notably, Marco Rubio, a prominent Hispanic Republican and close Trump ally who may run for president in 2028, has largely refrained from campaigning for GOP candidates in 2026 and does not plan to attend the upcoming republican National Committee midterm convention. His absence is seen as a sign that Trump’s coalition, especially its appeal to Latino voters, may be weakening.

Rubio’s absence stands out as Republicans confront signs that the coalition Trump assembled in 2024 may be fraying, particularly among Latino voters who helped power his return to the White House.
