["Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, Volume 26, Issue 1, April 2026. ", "\nAbstract\nLatinos have moved politically right in the last few years in United States elections, with the percentage of Latinos supporting the Republican presidential candidate at an all‐time high in the 2024 elections. The purpose of this study is to better understand this shift, particularly as it relates to the social psychology of identity in Latinos. We argue that linked fate, the extent to which racial and ethnic minorities believe that their individual well‐being is conditioned upon society's views of their minority group, helps explain Latino political identification and vote choice. Using a survey, we find that higher levels of linked fate are related to lower support of Donald Trump. We also explore the implications of linked fate for political identification and the individual‐level factors that predict higher levels of linked fate.\n"]
