US President Joe Biden accused election rival Donald Trump of despising Latinos as the incumbent tried yesterday to shore up support from a crucial demographic in the battleground states of Nevada and Arizona. — AFP picLAS VEGAS, March 20 — US President Joe Biden accused election rival Donald Trump of despising Latinos as the incumbent tried yesterday to shore up support from a crucial demographic in the battleground states of Nevada and Arizona.
During his three-day swing west which began Tuesday in Nevada, Biden was due to launch a special campaign called “Latinos con Biden-Harris” — Latinos with Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris — featuring a major television ad drive.The 81-year-old is also selling his economic record and highlighting issues such as abortion and immigration which Democrats believe are important to Latino voters.
In Las Vegas Biden tried to counter the former president’s claims that under Trump Americans were better off. Biden was to fly later to Phoenix, Arizona for the Latino campaign launch on Tuesday night and a manufacturing announcement Wednesday.The Grand Canyon state was the closest race in their first battle four years ago, with Biden beating Trump by just 10,457 votes, or 0.3 percentage points.
Despite Trump’s relentless anti-immigrant language, which also includes saying “rapists” and drug dealers were crossing the border from Mexico, the complex Latino electorate is turning more Republican.
