Trump Claims 94% of Cuban Americans Voted for Him, Says 'We Take Care of Those People' and Cuba Is Falling

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters in the White House Brady Briefing Room on November 9, said Cuban Americans are extraordinary people who have been treated very poorly, claimed that 94 percent of them voted for him, and added, 'We take care of those people.'

Trump provided no electoral data to support the 94 percent figure. At the same briefing he said Cuba is falling and that the United States is already helping the Cuban people for humanitarian reasons. The remarks are Trump's own characterizations.

Survey figures from Florida International University's Cuba Poll are lower: its late-October poll found 68 percent of surveyed Cuban American voters in Miami-Dade County intended to vote Republican in the November 3 congressional elections, and its 2024 poll put Trump's support among likely Cuban American voters at 68 percent, a record high for the series. GSM has previously reported the university's polling, including that 76 percent of Miami-Dade Cuban Americans surveyed oppose deporting Cubans with no criminal record.
