Trump voters are getting a rude awakening. It seems every single day, whether it's Donald Trump posting about reopening Alcatraz or AI images of himself as the Pope, as the world is grieving the passing of Pope Francis, whether it's Donald Trump's trade wars against the world,

19.597 - 42.715 Ben Meiselas

Or Donald Trump saying he doesn't know if he needs to follow the Constitution and saying that he doesn't believe immigrants should get due process and that they shouldn't get trials at all. When we're looking at the polling data, we're seeing some of the biggest drop off as well among Trump voters. Latino voters for Trump now overwhelmingly disapprove of Donald Trump.

And you remember we were showing you videos like this leading up to the election and even thereafter. Let's play this clip right here.

51.22 - 60.063 Unknown Speaker

If they let in hundreds of thousands of people who already have criminal records, if deporting them creates a mass deportation, I'm all for it.

60.303 - 65.884 Ben Meiselas

But what if rounded up in all of that are people who work on a farm? They're doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do.

66.145 - 74.987 Unknown Speaker

Does that worry you? That wouldn't be fair. Of course, you know, they need to make sure that they don't throw away, they don't kick out, they don't deport people that are family oriented.

75.865 - 91.114 Ben Meiselas

that are family oriented. Let's bring in Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego. Senator Gallego, you were warning leading up to the 2024 election about Latino defections. And that was one of the things that we saw. So tell us, what are you seeing now?

92.715 - 103.142 Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Well, I certainly have seen a reversal, mostly among Latino men. And I would say it started about three to four weeks ago. So it's a combination really of

104.15 - 119.348 Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

The fact that they're deporting people that aren't criminals, that they're separating families, all these things that either, A, a lot of these voters lied to themselves and said that that wasn't going to happen, or, you know, let's be clear, Trump at different points in time will actually say the same thing.
