Trump dodges questions at Latino voter event in Miami
At a Miami town hall‚ Trump avoided direct answers on immigration and repeated unproven claims. Harris leads among Hispanic voters in recent polls. Both candidates seek Latino support for the upcoming election
In a recent town hall event in Miami Donald Trump faced questions from Latino voters‚ but his responses left some issues unaddressed. The Republican presidential hopeful stuck to his unproven statements about immigrants in Ohio‚ saying he was just reporting what heʼd heard
At the gathering hosted by a Spanish-language TV network‚ Trump sidestepped several inquiries. A Mexican-born farm worker from California asked about the impact of mass deportations on agriculture and food prices; Trump didnt give a straight answer. Instead‚ he made claims about job losses for African Americans and Hispanic Americans due to illegal immigration
Trump also repeated baseless accusations that Latin American countries were sending people from mental institutions and jails to the United States. His language about immigrants has been getting darker as the election (set for 11/5/24) gets closer
I was just saying what was reported... And eating other things too that theyʼre not supposed to be. All I do is report
Meanwhile‚ Kamala Harris the Democratic candidate‚ is also trying to win Latino votes. She held her own Latino town hall in Nevada not long ago. Current polls show Harris leading Trump among Hispanic voters by 8 points
One Florida Republican at the event asked Trump about the Capitol riot on 1/6/21‚ hoping to give him a chance to win back his vote. Trump called it a “day of love“ and blamed former officials who turned against him on being fired
The upcoming election is shaping up to be a close race for the Latino vote‚ with both candidates making efforts to appeal to this growing demographic
