Not everything significant politically is happening just in the target states.

“Never seen anything like this in 30 years,” said California Republican consultant Mike Madrid in an X post, referencing the sharp increase in Republican registration among California’s minority voters, including the state’s numerous Latinos, growing numbers of Asians, and decreasing number of blacks.

This is especially evident among Latinos, as shown by mock elections in the state’s majority-Hispanic public schools, in which former President Donald Trump got 18% of voters in 2020 and 35% so far this year.

These changes are not going to make California go Republican on Nov. 5, but they’re part of a nationwide Republican trend among so-called minorities that may help Trump carry several target states with large percentages of Hispanics (Arizona and Nevada) and blacks (Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania).

Definitive confirmation of what has been scattered evidence comes from the latest, very highly rated New York Times/Siena poll, which oversampled Hispanics and blacks. The outlet’s chief political analyst, Nate Cohn, reported last weekend that Trump is trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by 78%-15% among blacks and by only 56%-37% among Hispanics. Trump, Cohn said, “might well return to the White House by faring better among black and Hispanic voters combined than any Republican presidential nominee since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.”

This not only alarms but also puzzles many Democrats.........
