Not many political analysts give attention to Rhode Island every four years. I on the other hand am known for my deep love of the state and talk about it frequently. The state swung seven points to the right from 2020-2024, a point more than the nation. Though often thought of as a state full of blue collar white Catholic the state is home to a substantial Hispanic population, who skew decidedly working class. Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Harris’ biggest losses vs Biden came in the state’s urban areas like Cranston, Central Falls, and Providence etc. No city or town saw a larger swing towards Trump than working class Central Falls where some 65% of the population is Hispanic. Harris’ 63% of the vote in Central Falls was way down from Biden’s 72% there in 2020.
