Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump will court Hispanic voters on their Thursday trips to Snowfallthe smallest of the seven states expected to play a decisive role in the US presidential elections on Tuesday.
Hispanics represent about 30 percent of Nevada’s population and Hispanic voters have traditionally been a base of strong support for democrats. Former President Trump, however, has been gaining ground in the Latino population of the United States, diverse from the point of view of nationalities and religions.
At the national level, Trump had the support of 38 percent of registered Hispanic voters in a series of surveys Reuters/Ipsos made this month, up from 32 percent at the same point in 2020. The percentage of Hispanic voters who support the vice president Harris stood at 50 percentup from 54 percent for Democratic President Joe Biden in October 2020.
The singer Jennifer Lopez will speak at a Harris rally in Las Vegas, where the Mexican pop rock band Maná will perform, while Trump will hold a rally southeast of the city, in Henderson, which has a population of more than 330,000 people.
Trump’s event will be at Lee’s Family Forum, home of the Henderson Silver Knights ice hockey team. Harris’ rally and concert are part of a series of “When We Vote, We Win” events to help mobilize support. Harris will also be in Reno.
A Trump rally on Sunday in New York sparked protests after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” which sparked criticism from several high-profile Hispanic Americans.
The singer Nicky Jam It endorsed Trump in September, but withdrew its support on Wednesday. “Puerto Rico should be respected,” he said in a video posted on Instagram.
The Trump campaign has said the joke did not reflect its views and has sought to distance yourself from the comments.
“I don’t know who he is… I don’t know anything about him,” Trump said in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday. “I love Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico loves me.”
Trump also said that a comment by Biden in which the president appeared to describe some trump supporters as “garbage” revealed the disdain that Democratic leaders feel toward their supporters. Harris tried to limit the damage.
“I will be a president for all Americans,” she said.
