The strategic vote of Mexican-Americans and Latinos
We are going to analyze from a new geopolitical vision, Donald Trump’s electoral strategy to win the midterm elections, 3/11/2026, and the presidential elections of the United States, 7/11/2028, with the strategic vote of Mexican-Americans and Latinos.
We will analyze Trump’s electoral political design, aimed at adding the decisive vote of Mexican-Americans and Latinos, to the triumph of his candidate Vance/ and/or Rubio, so that they replace him in the White House, with the purpose of consolidating the MAGA strategy and Trump’s geopolitical change.
Trump’s Republican electoral strategy is to defeat the Democrats with the Mexican-American and Latino votes, both in the midterm and presidential elections.
We are talking about those who are emerging as Democratic presidential candidates, former Vice President Kamala Harris, California Governor Gavin Newon and the emerging representative, Alejandría Ocasio Cortés, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, DSA.
We analyze the geopolitical origin of the Mexican-American population, and its current strategic political electoral participation.
Our starting point in the analysis of the upcoming U.S. elections is the geopolitical origin and the Mexican strategic vote.
250 Years of Freedom. Let us remember that the American Independence that we celebrate turns 250 years old, 4/7/2026. The participation of New Spanish Mexicans was decisive in the triumph of the Independence of North America 250 years ago.
Mexican population of New Spain. The explorers, missionaries and settlers of New Spain, direct ancestors of the Mexican-Americans, settled and populated the North American west coast from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The New Spanish Mexicans populated and coexisted civilly with the native population for decades, and even centuries before England consolidated the 13 Colonies on the east coast of what is now the United States.
Thousands of New Spanish Mexicans financed the independence triumph of General George Washington. They contributed decisively to the siege of Yorktown, strategic for the defeat of Great Britain.
The treasury of the Kingdom of New Spain contributed to General George Washington 3 million silver pesos, that is, the Real de a Eight, the basis of world trade for two centuries and the current financial dominance of the dollar.
George Whasington, the first American president, we note, governed with the first democratic republican project in the American hemisphere.
The triumph of North American independence – with the strategic participation of the Mexicans of New Spain – against the crown of Great Britain, establishes a new paradigm of free, republican and secular government.
Radically opposed to the theological, monarchical European governments, where the population is subject and not liberated, under despotic, colonialist and slave rule.
In other words, the first Republican government in Washington was based on the financing of the thousands of New Spanish Mexicans, 3 million silver pesos, equivalent today to billions of dollars. Intended for the payment of the impoverished militias of the Washington Army and the purchase of weapons, uniforms, and food.
We highlight the geostrategic contribution of the Mexican combatants of New Spain, against the English troops, in battles such as that of Pensacola, 1781, definitive for the triumph of General Washington.
The victory of the New Spanish Mexicans in Pensacola, present-day Gulf of Mexico, eliminated the British threat, by preventing the sending of reinforcements and supplies to their colonial troops on the east coast.
In the mid-twentieth century, Mexican-Americans, who participated in the defeat of Nazism, claimed and obtained civic and political rights, in addition to the struggles of African-Americans.
The Republican government of Einsenhawer opens the door to the rising Mexican and Latino vote.
In the 21st century, the political heirs of the Mexican New Spanish combatants are the millions of Mexican-Americans, 60% or more of Latinos. Latinos, their majority origin is throughout the middle of the last century due to exodus from dictatorial governments, anti-communists, from gorilla soldiers and victims of violence.

Trump overcomes Biden’s election coup. The strategic vote of Mexicans, Americans and Latinos was decisive for Trump to prepare and achieve his return to the White House. We are referring to the victory in the House of Representatives -Trump against Biden, in the mid-term elections, 8, 11, 2022.
Trump consolidates his power, with the decisive Mexican-Latino vote in the presidential elections. She beats Democrat Kamala Harris absolutely.
Trump imposes himself on the Democrats and the Deep State, who threaten to impede the MAGA project and Trump’s geopolitics, resorting to the extreme of assassinating him and provoking a hybrid civil war, and even fracturing the United States, with a geopolitical impact on the Mexican border states.
Trump deploys a successful electoral strategy to defeat the globalist project of Kamala Harris and her European NATO allies. He directs it to stop the migrant avalanche. And, paradoxically, to preserve and expand the decisive vote of Mexicans and Latinos, with whom he obtains a spectacular victory.
The main obstacle to overcome for Trump, to defeat the Democrats, is that unlike Mexico, the electoral legal structure rests on the states and even on municipalities.
For this reason, Trump’s electoral political strategy is aimed at preventing electoral fraud, such as Biden’s.
Trump sent the SAVE America Act to Congress, which seeks to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Trump’s SAVE Act has not passed Congress. And even a judge has vetoed it. Trump is stubborn, he will pull it through.
Trump appointed Vice President Vance as electoral coordinator in the Democratic states. With the purpose of preventing undocumented migrants from voting.
Trump is addressing Mexican and Latino voters, telling them he’s worried about working people’s pocketbooks. And for those who are small merchants or aspiring to be so, it is aimed at deregulating the procedures. The law on the affordability of housing and services is in the process of negotiation.
With the peace agreement with Iran closed, Trump is 100% dedicated to confronting the inflation; gasoline prices have reasonably returned to normal, after skyrocketing in the midst of the conflict with Iran.
The “communist” corridor of New York. The 100,000 members of the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America, have achieved victories in the primary elections. They have beaten old-guard Democratic senators and congressmen. They have hit the mark, defeating the traditionalist and aging or defeated Democrats in the last elections.
Democratic National Committee (DNC) leader Ken Martin struggles to navigate, along with congressional leaders, when his prospects are defeated.
In Texas, the tough Republican state, Trump faces a Democratic rebellion, led by popular Senate candidate James Talarico.
To defeat Talarico, the strategy is one of culture warfare. He is labeled as vegan, statements about religion and woke positions, for his support of LGTBI rights. The most disturbing thing for Trump is the sympathy and support of Texan and Latino Mexicans.
In this regard, Secretary of State Rubio is conducting research on the network of 53 Mexican consulates, the largest in the United States. He threatens to close some of them, under the version that former President AMLO has mobilized his supporters, to support the Democratic triumph and defeat Trump.
Sheinbaum’s government will take a heavy hit on its midterm election results if Democrats don’t win the election.
Since the last bastion of the self-styled leftist governments is that of Mexico. Lula in Brazil, is seriously confronted by the opposition candidate, the son of former President Bolsonaro. The recent triumphs in Peru and Colombia, by openly pro-Trump governments.
In conclusion, Trump’s triumph in the midterm and presidential elections is visible. If we consider that the strategic vote of Mexicans and Latinos, along with that of the working class, will be for the super electoral activist, Trump.
After 250 years of Libertad, the heirs of the New Spanish Mexicans are the millions of Mexican-American voters, added to the Latinos, who will give Trump a wide victory in the midterm elections. It will be the platform for the presidential triumph of Vance or Rubio. A defeat that will sink the Democrats and the socialist project of democratic rebirth for a long time.
