Florida, Trump shows strength with Latino voters (Cuban-Americans)

In Florida, Trump shows strength with Latino voters.

Most polls in Florida and Georgia are now closed, and Florida, a must-win battleground for President Trump with 29 electoral votes, appeared to be edging toward the president on the strength of his support among Latinos in the Miami area. With Georgia’s tally slowed by technical problems in Atlanta, all eyes were on Florida, a perennial battleground Mr. Trump won narrowly four years ago. A major surge by Mr. Trump among the Cuban-American voters in the Miami-Dade County area seems to have offset gains by Joseph R. Biden Jr. in Tampa and Jacksonville — and two Democratic incumbents in the Miami area were having difficulty fending off sharp challenges from Republicans. In populous Miami-Dade, Mr. Trump was overperforming his 2016 vote totals, with 512,000-plus votes so far counted in 2020 compared with about 334,000 total four years ago — an enormous improvement. The Biden campaign had sent former President Barack Obama to Miami on the eve of the election to try to rally supporters to the polls. “The reason why I’m back here in South Florida is that I know some of you have not voted yet,” Mr. Obama had said on Monday. But Mr. Biden was showing strength in other parts of the state, and the margins were too narrow to declare a winner. Mr. Biden, for instance, was leading in Duval County, home of the city of Jacksonville, which Mr. Trump carried in 2016.

I guess... Latino Lives Matter too? And they know Trump is who’s hands they would prefer to have their lives in, rather than Sleepy Joe’s.

The media huffed, they puffed and they tried... But they can’t blow Trump down. This is hilarious.

Trump is winning or leading in all the states that he won in 2016... He should just come out and declare victory now, because they certainly won’t declare him victorious EVER! LOL

Looks like Salazar is beating Donna Shalala! Feels good, man. :)

Shalala was probably the one person most instrumental in getting Bill Clinton elected way back when (because, Hillary, the boss). She spent much of her life beforehand organizing academics to make that happen. Shalala: man-hater extraordinaire.

They’ve seen oppressive government disguised as progressive government. Strangely, nobody is getting on a raft in Miami to swim or sail
to Cuba

Yes. If you are ever in Key West, go to the little museum on the beach that has actual “boats” that Cuban’s used to escape their paradise. Eye opening. God bless President Trump.

Biden won Arizona. All of the Californians who got on their life rafts and escaped escaped across the desert for lower taxes and more freedom brought the disease with them. They should have quarantined for nine years

If so, Arizona is off my visit list, even for a gas stop!
