民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科将争取德克萨斯州拉美裔选民作为竞选的重要部分，这一努力可能在决定他与共和党人肯·帕克斯顿的选举中起关键作用。
Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico has made courting Texas’s Latino voters a major part of his campaign, an effort that could be pivotal in deciding his race against Republican Ken Paxton.
在拉美裔选民中取得强劲表现，不仅将增强塔拉里科在德州参议院选举中获胜的机会，还将标志着该群体在2024年转向特朗普总统之后的一次显著逆转。民调显示，随着生活成本不满情绪增长以及其政府的移民打压，特朗普在拉美裔选民中的支持率正在急剧下滑。
A strong showing among Latino voters would not only bolster Talarico’s path to victory in the Texas Senate race, but would also mark a notable reversal after the demographic shifted toward President Trump in 2024. Polls now show Trump’s approval among Latinos sliding steeply amid growing discontent over the cost of living and his administration’s immigration crackdown.
塔拉里科竞选团队早早且大力投入争取拉美裔选民，包括在西班牙语广告上投入高额资金，他们最终在民主党初选中获得了拉美裔选民的强力支持。
The Talarico campaign made an early and forceful investment in courting Latino voters—including high spending on Spanish-language ads—and they ultimately backed him strongly in the Democratic primary.
