"I voted for Trump. As you can see, I’m a small business owner. To me, I believe he did really well with our economy during Covid, with what he was stuck with. I didn’t give in to all the misinformation that was handed out."

"You got to follow your heart. And I think that’s what a lot of Latinos did. He deserves a second chance and we gave it to him. And I don’t think it was just the Latinos. I think the African-Americans, too."

"We just needed change. We wanted change. And the only way we could get the change that we wanted was to get out and vote. And we let our vote speak for us, and we won."

"A lot of my friends voted for Trump. A lot of people on my Facebook friends that are Latino men from my generation that voted Democrat, this time voted for Trump. And honestly, one of the things that they do voice it, that they do say is this: That they don’t want a man classifying himself as a woman to go in the locker room where their daughters are being activities."
STORYLINE:
The Associated Press declared that Republican Donald Trump won Wisconsin — and with it, a return to the White House — once it determined that remaining uncounted votes mostly from the greater Milwaukee area would not be enough to allow Vice President Kamala Harris to overtake Trump.
Black voters — men and women — have been the bedrock of the Democratic Party, and in recent years, Latinos and young voters have joined them.
All three groups still preferred Democrat Kamala Harris. But preliminary data from AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide, suggested that Trump made significant gains.
Rafael Mercado, a business owner who was born and raised in Milwaukee voted for Trump on election day in part because he believes Trump handled the economy well when he was president.
"He’s a business man like me first and foremost, he’s not a politician," said Mercado.
For Gerrardo Garcia, who has also lived in Milwaukee his entire life, said that though he voted for Harris, he has many Latino friends who voted for Trump.
When reflecting on his hopes for the next four years, Mercado stated he hopes Donald Trump can work on the immigration issue. "Can we realistically find them all and deport them? No way, so stop lying about that, but let’s work a way that those that are here," said Mercado.
