Biden partners with Latino Decisions for Hispanic outreach

[pppolitics]

Dogged over his relatively weak support among Latinos in both the primary and general elections, Joe Biden is conducting a massive turnaround campaign, hiring a rash of Hispanic operatives, spending $1 million in Spanish-language outreach and, this week, signing one of the nation’s top pollsters in the field, Latino Decisions.

A raft of recent general election polls shows Biden with a solid lead nationwide and in many battleground states. He’s already leading among Hispanic voters. But if Biden can get the same level of support and turnout as Hillary Clinton did in 2016 — while continuing to do better than she did among black and white voters — he’s all but guaranteed to win the crucial battlegrounds of Florida and Arizona, which would effectively deny President Trump a second term.

“There’s a huge opportunity,” said Matt Barreto, Latino Decisions co-founder and pollster who also worked for Clinton’s campaign, adding it “did an okay job” with Latino turnout and support levels.

Now, though, Trump has a record on immigration, Puerto Rico, healthcare, coronavirus response and foreign policy — and Democrats learned from Florida’s last election that failing to aggressively reach out to Latino voters cost them the governor’s office and the retention of a U.S. Senate seat.

The man is not winning this election with 60% of Hispanic support. Haven't we been over this before

Do you really think Donald Trump, who literally kicked off his presidential bid by attacking "Mexican rapist criminals", will get 40% of the Hispanic vote? Come on.

[ExSky]

Kinda seems like the Trump fans know he’s going to lose and just wanna not be bored through the cycle so they just say dumb stuff for attention.

Joe Biden is going to get 65-70% of the Hispanic vote.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I'd love if it he can send some of that Latino attention towards South Texas & Bexar County's way.

Wasn't one of Beto's top reasons for winning losing (Whoops) in 2018 that South Texas didn't reach 2016 levels of turnout and/or support?

Latinos gave Dems more of a win in 2018 than they did in 2016. So it would be very surprising to see them give Biden less of a share than Clinton got

[Suburbia]

Biden is underperforming with Latinos, period

It will work better than having Mexico pay for the wall.

No it isn't. Clinton had receipts with the community, Biden hasn't thus far.

How stupid can you honestly be? Every day is a new record for you isn't it?

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

This "DUH BIDEN CANT WIN LATINOS" take needs to die. Just because they voted for Bernie in the primary doesnt mean they aren't going to vote for Biden.
