Maduro Capture Sparks Latino Voter Shift, Strategy Expert Warns

Presidential strategist Dick Morris warned that the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro by the United States could have major domestic political consequences, particularly among Latino voters. The action is expected to resonate strongly with Venezuelan Americans and other Caribbean and South American communities who oppose the Maduro regime, potentially boosting President Trump’s standing within the broader Latino electorate.

Morris described the move as evidence that foreign and domestic policy are now inseparable in the Western Hemisphere. He also highlighted a looming Supreme Court decision on race-based congressional districts, cautioning that such districts could be ruled unconstitutional, putting at least 25 Democrat-held seats—currently drawn as majority-minority districts—at risk.

Additionally, Morris cautioned Democrats against criticizing Maduro’s capture, stating that opposition might alienate politically active Venezuelan and South American voters. He noted that the removal of Maduro could destabilize Cuba’s communist government, which relies heavily on Venezuelan oil, calling it a “two-fer” that weakens authoritarian regimes in both nations.
