Trump campaign focused on various groups within South Florida’s Latino voters
In Florida, President Trump won 45% of the Latino vote, an 11-point improvement from his 2016 performance.
The Trump campaign heavily focused on various groups within South Florida’s Latino electorate, conducting periodic rallies in the state to herald the Trump administration’s specific measures toward different countries, including Venezuela and Cuba.
The depiction of Democrats and Biden as “socialists” proved to be an effective messaging for the Trump campaign, with the Democratic party having a difficult time to counter.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday tweeted that the party has been sounding the alarm about Democrats’ “vulnerabilities with Latinos for a long, long time.”
I won’t comment much on tonight’s results as they are evolving and ongoing, but I will say we’ve been sounding the alarm about Dem vulnerabilities w/ Latinos for a long, long time.
There is a strategy and a path, but the necessary effort simply hasn’t been put in ⬇️ https://t.co/HljnWYgeju

President Trump has visited the biggest Latino evangelical congregation in the country at a Florida megachurch and spoke aggressively about abortion, saying the Democrats were trying to “silence our churches.” This has cultivated the Hispanic conservatives.
