Republicans are holding onto a steady share of the Latino vote in the Trump era. With a president who targets immigrants from Latin America, some analysts predicted a Latino backlash against the GOP. But it hasnâ€™t happened. Data from APâ€™s VoteCast survey suggests Republicans are holding on to support from Latino evangelicals and veterans. Pedro Gonzalez has faith in Donald Trump and his party. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File) WX302 WX302
