Exit polls show Vice President Kamala Harris lost Latino men to President-elect Donald Trump — a significant blow to a party that's long relied on them as part of a broad coalition. The results were openly feared most of the past year by Democratic Party leaders and operatives.

Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego will be Arizona’s first Latino senator next year, NBC News projects, after defeating Republican Kari Lake in a hard-fought Senate race.

The congressman leaned on his personal story and military service to build an image as a pragmatic moderate who would work to fix the nation’s broken immigration system and fight for veterans and for reproductive rights.
