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. …

No one is voting for Biden, they’re voting against Trump.

They had a huge turnout at the Latinos for Trump road rally in Miami yesterday. Wonder if it had any bearing on him going to Florida today?

Did Kamala even get out of the car in a South American or Caribbean enclave? Seems like she’s not proud of her Jamaican roots.
Of course, when it’s possible one of her ancestors used to own/inseminate one of theirs, that puts a damper on things.
I hate it when that happens.

Florida’s latino communities have seen communism up close and personal... they’ve escaped the Cuban hellhole, gone hungry in Valenzuela...

It’s not easy for dems to feed them lies like they gullible members of the press or silly 15 year olds...

They know... and they’re NOT going to vote for Biden or Commie CommaLa...

Saw Biden signs all over Mt. Lebanon, a snooty suburb of Pittsburgh.

Biden never had a chance in Florida, only a southern D like a Doug Jones would do well.

“You truly are the future of our country...”

A bald face lie contains the word “truly.”

Biden’s supposed to be in FL today.. maybe traveling I-4? I don’t think he’ll find many supporters unless they’re in Tampa or Orlando.

Latinos for Trump vs Latinos for Biden Parades

On Sunday there were two very contrasting parades. In Miami they had the Latinos for Trump parade and in Las Vegas there was the Latinos for Biden parade. As you can see the two parades were sharply different as to turnout y entusiasmo.
