The battle for Latino voters
Good morning and welcome to US Election Countdown. I'm Steff Chávez, the FT's Washington reporter. Today let’s talk about:
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are racing to shore up support among Latino voters , a key constituency in the swing states of Arizona and Nevada.
Both candidates will visit the two states — where Latinos make up more than 20 per cent of the population — in the coming days. Harris will take part in a Latino-focused town hall tonight on Univision, while Trump will do the same next week. Latinos make up 15 per cent of the US electorate — double their share in 2000.
The US’s growing Latino demographic was once reliably Democratic, but it has drifted right in recent years. Pollsters say this is a result of voters’ economic concerns and growing disillusionment with the Democratic party’s leadership and policies.
Mark Jones, chair in Latin American studies at Rice University, said Harris was walking a tightrope as she wooed voters in the Midwest and Latino voters in the south-west, especially on immigration, a topic on which she has taken a stance to the right of Biden. . . .
