Historical Context

The 1994 Republican Revolution, driven by Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America, gave Republicans a net gain of 54 House seats and unified control of Congress. A 2026 Pew Research Center survey found Latino voters who backed Donald Trump in 2024 were twice as likely to call themselves ‘American’ as those supporting Kamala Harris, reflecting the party’s long-standing cultural framing of Hispanic voters.
