Atleast he’s not making the mistake Hillary did by just staying in the big cities and not covering more of rural America.
I’m not enthusiastic (mostly ambivalent) about another Biden term but, another trump term would be disastrous.
I think he’s making the very mistake the reps are exploiting.
Hispanic voters care very little for (new) immigrants, or even economic motivations
Gop is winning their votes by playing on religious issues. As long as dems are promoting women and lgbtq++ rights they are going to lose latinX votes, sad but true. Flying around speeching about economic issues isn’t going to change much
The Democratic party didn’t just turn socially liberal this election cycle. The culture war isn’t a new phenomenon and yet the Latino vote has heavily favored Democrats all this time. Everyone pretends Latinos are a monolith. Some care about culture war, some care about immigrants, and some care about economics.
This guy named Miguel will be representing all latinos for this election.
Sure, but the entire premise of articles such as these is that they put the latinx vote in a box with political candidates just having to fly around pushing the right buttons to get it.
The problem here is that the GOP discovered this isn’t the case and they can get tons of cheap votes there by just using the same messaging as they use for evangelicals, but in Spanish
Ok, so you recognize that’s wrong, but then still say they’re one unified group with a single key issue? Seems like each party is just targeting the subgroup of Latinos that are primed toward their own messaging, same as most broad groupings. There’s no “one neat trick” to win the “Latino” vote, and going around telling ‘your’ voters the things they like to hear is just doing regular old politics.
Well, maybe I should have worded it as ‘the hispanic voters they’ve lost and want to win back’.
But the whole premise in US politics to split voters into certain ethnic demographics and then push their buttons accordingly might be ethically wrong, but apparently it works very well - otherwise both parties wouldn’t be doing it.
“Nevada, Arizona and Texas”
Texas is a waste of time, he’ll never win Texas.
But Arizona and Nevada are CLUTCH.
In 2020 he won Arizona by 0.3%. Nobody got more than 50% of the vote. 11 electoral votes.
Biden - 1,672,143 Trump - 1,661,686
In Nevada he cracked 50% by the skin of his teeth. 6 electoral votes.
Biden - 50.06% Trump - 47.67%
Biden - 703,486 Trump - 669,890Current polling in both states shows he’s down and he can’t afford to lose them.
Arizona - Trump +4

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/nevada/This is the best summary I could come up with:
Joe Biden is on a three-day western US election campaign swing through Nevada, Arizona and Texas with a focus on personally appealing to Latino voters, saying they are the reason he defeated Donald Trump in 2020 and urging them to help him do it again in November.
Biden was making appearances in Arizona on Wednesday then heading to Texas on Thursday, three weeks after he was at the Texas-Mexico border to talk about immigration in a region where Democrats have had some disappointing results in recent elections.
Biden said the upcoming presidential election isn’t a referendum on him but a choice between “me and a guy named Trump” who campaigns by accusing people coming to the US from Mexico of being rapists and, in recent weeks, saying that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”.
Biden said Hispanic unemployment is the lowest it has been in a long time because of his policies, highlighted administration initiatives to help small businesses and reduce gun violence, and criticized Trump for wanting more tax cuts for rich people.
Democrats’ latest efforts are crucial as key parts of Biden’s base, such as Black and Hispanic people, have become increasingly disenchanted with his performance in office.
Biden noted that Trump recently said migrants are “animals” and not people, and that the presumptive Republican nominee for the White House this November has pledged to carry out mass deportations.
The original article contains 544 words, the summary contains 233 words. Saved 57%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Forget Michigan, Biden is gonna take Texas!
Lmao
