   The biggest story of Hispanic Heritage Month, which began last Friday, is   
   that Hispanics are coming home to the Republican Party.   
      
   Earlier this month, the New York Times published a bombshell article   
   headlined “Consistent Signs of Erosion in Black and Hispanic Support for   
   Biden.” The piece chronicles the ongoing political migration among   
   minorities, especially Hispanics, from Democrats to Republicans. It   
   highlights twelve “high-quality” 2024 election polls that show Biden holds   
   a mere 50% to 40% lead among Hispanic voters. That’s down significantly   
   from the 65% of Hispanics who voted for him in 2020.   
      
   This polling destroys the media narrative that Republicans are a racist   
   party. It debunks Democrats’ Great Replacement theory, which posits that   
   America’s increasing number of minorities and immigrants will inevitably   
   generate an enduring Democrat majority.   
      
   I’ve chronicled this rightward shift among Hispanics for the past several   
   years, and it’s only picking up steam as Latinos continue to be the   
   biggest victims of Bidenomics.   
      
   Last Tuesday, the Census Bureau announced that real median nation incomes   
   declined significantly in 2022 due to Bidenflation. The pain of falling   
   living standards is especially acute for Hispanics, who earn far less than   
   average Americans. What a contrast to 2017 to 2019, when Hispanics’ real   
   median household incomes rose by $6,710 due to the Trump economic boom.   
      
   Consider how Bidenomics disproportionately hurts Hispanics. Who is more   
   impacted by the 17% inflation since Biden took office: Hispanic food   
   service workers or white yuppies? Who feels greater pain from $5 a gallon   
   gas: Hispanic transportation workers or the work-from-home laptop class?   
   And who is impacted more by Democrats’ opposition to school choice: the   
   Hispanic family who has to live wherever they can find an affordable   
   apartment or the suburbanites who can choose their zip code based on its   
   schools? No wonder Hispanics are migrating to the Republican Party.   
      
   Another reason for this shift: Hispanics are disproportionately   
   entrepreneurial and Republicans are the pro-entrepreneurship party.   
   Earlier this year, I wrote a book arguing that greater entrepreneurship   
   can overcome the nation’s racial economic divides.   
      
   In fact, entrepreneurship is already closing racial wealth and income   
   gaps. The ratio between white and Hispanic household wealth declined from   
   8:1 in 2013 to 5:1 in 2019 as Hispanic entrepreneurship skyrocketed before   
   stalling due to COVID and Bidenomics. The median net worth of self-   
   employed Hispanics is $174,920, and the median net worth of self-employed   
   Hispanics with business equity is $314,280, meaning Hispanic entrepreneurs   
   already make far more than average whites.   
      
   Expanding entrepreneurship through pro-small business public policy can   
   help Hispanics overcome racial and economic divides through their own hard   
   work even faster. Republican pro-growth policies, such as sound money, tax   
   cuts, cheap energy, and deregulation, make it easier for Hispanics to   
   start and grow their businesses.   
      
   Republicans can accelerate their growing support among Hispanics by   
   doubling down on their pro-entrepreneurship bona fides. One immediate step   
   they can take is changing the party’s crusty old name from the Grand Old   
   Party to the Great Opportunity Party, which better reflects and projects   
   their platform.   
      
   Republicans can also pursue legislation that implements Job Creators   
   Network’s American Small Business Prosperity Plan. This eight-step pro-   
   growth policy playbook will make it easier for Hispanics and all Americans   
   to live the American Dream.   
      
   Hispanics are finally realizing that Republicans have much more in common   
   with our heritage than Democrats.
