McAllen, the largest city in Hidalgo County in the center of the Rio Grande Valley, grew over the past decade. About a quarter of its population lives in poverty. Democrats’ decision not to campaign door to door while the coronavirus was raging may have contributed to Trump’s showing with Latinos on the border. Democrats also focused on more competitive areas of the state.
“Democrats will keep fighting for Latino families and will continue to do the grassroots work in the Rio Grande Valley to ensure voters see how Democrats are delivering for them,” Acosta said. The Rio Grande Valley has depended mostly on local county organizations to deliver the vote, but many counties have not had seriously competitive races, meaning there was very little money to push turnout, Hinojosa said.
