What's missing from the 'Latino vote' analysis in Mass.

14:56

Across the country, Trump made big gains with Latino voters. One Massachusetts city that saw this trend is Lawrence. More than 80% of Lawrence residents are Latino, and most come from the Dominican Republic.

Lawrence saw a major shift to the right this election. While Vice President Kamala Harris still won the city — support for Trump nearly tripled since his first run, landing him 40% of the city’s vote.

On Radio Boston, WBUR's Simón Rios shares his reporting from Lawrence and Luisa Peña Lyons, political strategist and founder of the economic mobility organization the Bridge Forward, reacts.
