Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Thursday was asked for his take on why Latino voters overwhelmingly support Democrats, including President Barack Obama. The junior senator from Florida told Fox News Channel’s Bret Baier that the trend was at least partly due to where Latino voters live — and the influence of the local politics that permeates their communities.
“Well, look, some of it is historic in nature,” Rubio said during the pre-taped interview that aired on Thursday evening. “These are communities and towns and states, California comes to mind and so does New York, that happen to be bastions of the Democratic politics. And so, people move there and it’s logical thatl they turn into Democrats or vote in that direction. But that’s going to change.”
