Latino evangelicals rejecting Democratic Party, pastor says: 'Going to vote like no other in November'

Christian Latinos will turn out in record numbers for the 2024 election and will base their vote on their Christian values, Latino pastors touted in a new report.

"Evangelical Latinos this year are going to vote like no other year," Rev. Samuel Rodríguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference told NBC News.

The outlet spoke with Latino pastors in Pennsylvania and California about the top issues concerning Latino evangelicals in the November election.

National security, economic concerns, parental rights and freedom of religion are the biggest reasons mobilizing these voters this election, the report said. Polls show most voters believe these issues are better handled by Republicans over Democrats.

Some of these pastors' congregants said they would be supporting former President Trump in November because their faith and values were more in line with the Republican Party.

Trump holds a six-point lead over President Biden among Latinos, according to a February poll from the New York Times and Siena College.

Between candidates Biden and Trump, 46% of Latinos who responded to the poll said they would vote for Trump, while 40% said they would support Biden if the election were held that day. That's a big difference from Biden's 2020 general election support from the group. Biden won 59% of the Latino vote to Trump's 38% that year, according to Pew Research, which marked an improved showing for the Republican from 2016.

The evangelical leaders told NBC the GOP aligned more with their views on social issues, but the party's rhetoric surrounding immigration also gave them pause.
