Univision CEO Daniel Alegre is reshaping Hispanic media, highlighting that the days when Hispanic voters reliably supported Democrats are fading fast.

Speaking with Just the News, Alegre observed that Hispanics increasingly vote based on policies rather than political party lines—a seismic shift for both parties to reckon with.  “The world of 15 years ago, where Hispanics were essentially considered a vote for the Democratic Party, that’s no longer the case,” Alegre said, pointing to growing GOP support among Hispanic voters, especially men.

Alegre’s insights arrive amid Univision’s major transition, as the network pivots to a digital landscape and fosters direct conversations with Hispanic voters on topics that matter most.

This includes a recent Hispanic voter poll revealing strong alignment with GOP stances on top concerns: 26% of Hispanic respondents listed the economy as a primary issue, while 13% chose immigration and border security—both notably more significant than Vice President Kamala Harris’s preferred topics, climate change and abortion.

Looking at battleground states, Alegre noted that Hispanic voters are emerging as decisive in close elections. With this in mind, Univision commissioned a survey that echoed similar findings across conservative polls, revealing a dramatic 17-point surge in GOP support among Hispanic voters since the last election.

Alegre emphasized that this shift underscores a desire for consistent policy dialogue, with voters drawn to a party willing to address their economic and safety concerns.

In Univision’s latest moves, the network has opened more dialogue channels with both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’s campaigns, a stark change from years past. Alegre hinted that only when politicians commit to ongoing engagement—not just at election time—will they resonate with the Hispanic community’s priorities.

Additionally, he noted that nearly 25% of Hispanic voters remain undecided, signaling a prime opportunity for politicians to secure votes if they consistently communicate on platforms and in languages that Hispanics trust.

Amid this political recalibration, Univision is also transforming internally. Longtime anchor Jorge Ramos’s retirement signals a new era, with Alegre overseeing Univision’s expansion into streaming and digital media.

He envisions a network that offers Hispanic audiences more interactivity and relevance, integrating personalized content and social engagement to meet the community’s dynamic needs.

A veteran from Google and Activision, Alegre’s approach combines traditional Hispanic values with tech-driven adaptability.

As Univision embraces this evolution, Alegre’s vision remains clear: keep Hispanic communities informed, connected, and empowered to make choices that best serve their families, not party allegiance.

With Hispanic voters poised to influence the election in key swing states, Univision’s evolving role in informing this pivotal group reflects the significance of their voices in shaping America’s future.
