Biden faces worries that Latino support slipping in Florida
Dissociated Press ^ | September 14, 2020 | Steve Peoples and Will Weissert

Sen. Kamala Harris’ motorcade raced past Colombian neighborhoods and made a quick stop for takeout in Doral — or “Doral-zuela” as it’s known locally because of its large Venezuelan population — before speeding through the Cuban stronghold of Hialeah.

But during her first trip to Florida as Joe Biden’s running mate last week, Harris did little to court this region’s booming — and politically influential — Latino population. She instead focused on African American leaders waiting at a historically (b)lack university in Miami Gardens.

“You truly are the future of our country,” Harris said into a megaphone after the motorcade pulled up to Florida Memorial University, where a marching band serenaded her ahead of an hour-long discussion with local (b)lack leaders. “You are the ones who are going to inspire us and fight for the ideals of our country.”

In America’s leading presidential battleground, there’s mounting anxiety among Democrats that the Biden campaign’s standing among Latinos is slipping, potentially giving President Donald Trump an opening in his reelection bid. That’s fueling an urgent effort by Biden, Harris and their allies to shore up older voters, suburbanites and African Americans to make up for potential shortcomings elsewhere. […]

If Biden reclaims the upper Midwest for Democrats, he won’t need Florida to capture the presidency. But Trump has virtually no path to re-election without it, which is why the state remains a top priority for Democrats. …

I cannot imagine any part of the country where Biden’s support is actually increasing.
I can imagine plenty of areas where Biden’s support is decreasing.

The unspoken tense divide between Blacks and Latinos in the Dem Party is coming to the fore. Latinos can see that Biden is not well, and if he dies or has to be removed Kamala will be giving away all of the goodies to BLM.

You live by identity politics, you die by identity politics. Simple as that.

Here in suburban Pittsburgh Biden’s support APPEARS to be increasing, because the Democrat block captains are putting extreme pressure on anyone they influence to have a Biden sign in their yard.

You work for the county? If you like your job you had better have a Biden sign on your lawn. Oh, yeah, ten of your relatives must have them too.

Ok, so if Trump loses all 4 states he has virtually no path. What's Biden's path if HE loses all 4 states? These people think the people have no clue.

By the way, Trump’s path without it is just don’t lose the upper Midwest; or just hold PA & MI and Pickup NH. We can play this game all day long. Sheesh

That’s the dirty little secret of this ‘people of color’ b.s. Latinos aren’t all that fond of American blacks and apparently share little in common with them. And black Americans aren’t happy with Latinos displacing them from neighborhoods, jobs, and political importance.

Did Harris mention the fact that President Trump is the first to fully fund historical black universities?

No, Biden is not worried. That assumes he has an idea of what is going on.

Biden is a virtual candidate. Not know what he is for or against or who actually calls the shots.

So he is the Not Trump candidate and that is it and that likely is not enough

Biden attracts no one. If he is ahead why is it no one wants to be seen with him? Talk about zero respect. If you do vote for him you’re voting for a logo at best.
