Kamala Harris Struggles to Win Latino Support in Pennsylvania
- Latino leaders in Pennsylvania express concerns about Kamala Harris's campaign failing to effectively engage Latino voters, especially Latino men.
- At a recent event, leaders communicated their worries to Harris’s staff, highlighting the appeal of Trump’s persona to Latino men.
- The declining support for Democrats among Latino voters raises alarm and could significantly impact the election results in Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania, Democrats express concern regarding Vice President Kamala Harris's connection with the Latino voting bloc, particularly among Latino men. Despite the state's 580,000 registered Latino voters, many Latino leaders believe that Harris's campaign has not engaged adequately with this demographic. At a recent Philadelphia event, several Latino business leaders approached members of her staff to convey their worries about the campaign's outreach, yielding little response. They highlighted that Trump’s image is appealing to Latino men, leading to a notable decrease in support for Democrats among this group, as seen in polls. Harris still maintains a majority among Latino voters nationally; however, the growing support for Trump has caused alarm within the Democratic party, prompting calls for improved strategies to mobilize Latino voters in the upcoming election. If not addressed, the lack of engagement could significantly impact electoral outcomes in this crucial swing state.
