MIAMI — A prominent Latino advocacy group promised its 2024 presidential endorsement would encourage the Republican Party to look past former President Donald Trump as its nominee.

During a press breakfast before Wednesday's third Republican primary debate in Miami, LIBRE President Daniel Garza told reporters his organization, which supports free market policies, was"getting close to the final decision" on who to back before next year's election."Obviously, we feel strongly that the polarization and the division of the country is worsening, and we just need to turn the page on that," Garza said.

"We want to turn the page on the current primary leader," he added."We understand that Trump is, of course, the odds-on favorite to win the primary, so we don't have any illusions about that. But if there is areas where we can make a difference, prompt people in different ways, we will, but yeah, hopefully, we can begin to sort of turn those efforts towards that."

Garza reiterated his recognition of Trump's popularity with a multifaceted Latino community, particularly as many struggle under President Joe Biden's economic approach, branded Bidenomics."But I will say, in parentheses here, that the support that you're seeing is really soft," he said."I think that they're looking at Biden and they don't like what they see it with the direction of the country and on the economics.

Trump is counterprogramming the downtown Miami debate with a rally in nearby minority-majority Hialeah as he tries to make in-roads with voters of color and as polling suggests Biden has his own problems with certain demographics.
