Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has boldly claimed that the surging support for former President Donald Trump among Hispanic voters is a direct result of the assault on traditional values, including masculinity. The senator pointed out that many Hispanic residents are hardworking, blue-collar folks, and unlike President Joe Biden, Trump connects with their values and concerns. Rubio argued that part of the reason for Trump’s growing popularity among Hispanic voters is the attack on masculinity, which is deeply embedded in working-class values.
Rubio passionately explained his views on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle, stating that traditional masculinity is being unfairly targeted in mass media, education, and throughout society. According to Rubio, the qualities that define traditional masculinity, such as being rambunctious and energetic, are natural and should be celebrated, not suppressed. He believes that this suppression has led to resentment among many working-class families, affecting people of all ethnicities. Rubio confidently predicted that this backlash against the assault on traditional values could significantly benefit Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
This assessment from Rubio comes in response to political strategist James Carville’s recent criticism of the Democratic Party’s struggle to appeal to male voters in the United States. Carville highlighted the party’s focus on women and questioned whether male voters would receive any consideration in the upcoming election.
Recent polling data from Rasmussen Reports has revealed that Trump’s support among Latino voters significantly surpasses Biden’s by double digits, currently standing at 48% to 37%. Additionally, Trump has seen a notable increase in support among Asian and black voters, trailing Biden by a slim margin among Asian voters and significantly narrowing the gap among black voters compared to the 2020 election. These statistics point to a growing trend of diverse support for Trump, defying the media’s portrayal of him as a polarizing figure.
Amidst these developments, speculations have emerged that Trump is considering Sen. Marco Rubio as a potential running mate for the 2024 election. Other candidates under consideration reportedly include Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD). With the support of influential Hispanic leaders like Rubio, Trump’s growing appeal among minority voters has the potential to reshape the political landscape. The liberal narrative of Trump’s unpopularity is being challenged, and the Republican Party is poised to make significant gains in the upcoming election.
