60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around a Latino shift toward Democrats as the key lens on Texas politics. PBS NewsHour presents it as a “major factor” in the midterm elections and centers an interview with Voto Latino’s María Teresa Kumar, while 60 Minutes adds the angle of why some Latino voters soured on Trump and says some who backed him in 2024 turned to Democrats.
