President Trump made historic gains with Latinos when he won reelection last year, boosting Republicans' confidence that their economic message was helping them make inroads with a group of voters who had long leaned toward Democrats.
But in this week's election, Democrats in key states were able to disrupt that rightward shift by gaining back Latino support, exit polls showed.
In New Jersey and Virginia, the Democrats running for governor made gains in counties with large Latino populations, and overall won two-thirds of the Latino vote in their states, according to an NBC News poll.
And in California, a CNN exit poll showed about 70% of Latinos voting in favor of Proposition 50, a Democratic redistricting initiative designed to counter Trumps plans to reshape congressional maps in an effort to keep GOP control of the House.
