On Tax Day, Warren Blasts Trump IRS CEO for Choosing Giant Corporations Over Taxpayers and Families
Senator Elizabeth Warren
Quote of the Day
“The extent of the bottom falling out on Latino voter support for Trump is pretty staggering...I think we realized it had softened, but it has really just absolutely eroded any gains that he and his party had made through 2024.”
Two-thirds of Latino voters disapprove of Trump’s management of immigration and the economy,according to a new poll commissioned by Third Way and UnidosUS. And notably, more than a third of Latino Trump voters say they regret voting for him.
