President-elect Donald Trump won the county in the United States with the highest percentage of Latinos by 16 points after losing it by 60 points in 2016.

Latinos make up 97.7% of Starr County, which is situated on the Texas-Mexico border. The county voted Democrat in every presidential election since 1892, usually voting 80%-90% for Democrats. Previously, the only outliers were Richard Nixon’s landslide in 1972 and the 2020 election, when the Democratic share was only in the 50% range. On Tuesday, Trump finally flipped the county with 57.7% of the vote compared to Vice President Kamala Harris’s 41.8%.
