This is a top of fold story in today's @BostonGlobe and @jazmineulloa wrote a very strong story. Here's hoping Globe continues to provide more space for these types of stories and not just be one and done, which is what has happened in past. (Been a Globe subscriber since 1991.)
My one take on this excellent story is that I don't necessarily see it as "gains" for GOP since the level of support fell into historical patterns. It had to do more with how Dems didn't really need to win FL or TX. I will stand by that one. Because of AZ, NV, WI, MI, PA and GA.
So there are two angles here but not necessarily on the same level. We will see how much the data plays into it in the next coming weeks.

Ok, the one day I take a break from political news, am sharing a story. I manage and play in an Over50 soccer league. Our team has been playing for a while. Used to be Over40 but now we get old.
Today one of my teammates got a yellow card for cursing in English at the referee. Meanwhile, because I know all the Portuguese curse words, the other team was cursing at the referee during the first half all in Portuguese.
During halftime, I told the ref that I am calling BS. My guy says one curse word in English and you give him a yellow card. You are 10
players on other team cursing at you on Portuguese and you do nothing.

Can we please stop with the "Trump gained with Latino voters" hot takes? If you talked to ANY academic, commentator or journalist who has covered Latino voters over the last 40 years, the GOP has historically gotten a third of Latino voters nationally.
NOBODY who has been following Trump and what his campaign did this cycle is surprised by the support he got. NOBODY.

The conversation needs to be this instead: there was NEVER a unified Latino voting bloc on the national level. Ever.
Start thinking about how to specifically address these pockets:

SW/W (consistently voting blue)
Midwest (voters that can take you over top)
The South (see what's happening in Georgia/NC)
Texas (the elusive Holy Grail that will change)
Florida (not the only game in town any more)

Watching @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris right now. #Election2020
Talking about historic 150 million people who voted.
"It's clear that we are winning enough states to reach the 270 votes to win the presidency," Biden says, but won't claim victory. #Election2020
