Why Are More Latino Voters Supporting Trump?

Об эпизоде

<p>Despite a surge of enthusiasm for Vice-President Kamala Harris’s campaign, the 2024 race remains extremely competitive. And one factor very much in Donald Trump’s favor is an increased share of support from Latino voters. Anti-immigrant messaging from Trump and the Republican Party has not turned off Latino voters; he won a higher percentage of Latino voters in 2020 than in 2016, and he was roughly tied with President Biden at the time Biden stepped out of the race in July. Geraldo Cadava, the author of “The Hispanic Republican,<i>”</i> <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/does-kamala-harris-need-a-latino-campaign">wrote about</a> the Republicans’ strategy for <i>The New Yorker</i>. He spoke with prominent Latino Trump supporters about why the message is resonating, and how they feel about all the signs reading “Mass Deportation Now.”</p><p>Plus, it’s time for one of those annual rituals that keeps the world turning: picking the song of the summer. “One way of thinking about it is a song that you hear involuntarily,” <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/kelefa-sanneh">Kelefa Sanneh</a> opines. “This isn’t the song that you play the most. It’s the song you hear everyone else listening to.” He joins fellow staff writer <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/amanda-petrusich">Amanda Petrusich</a> to propose four candidates for song of the summer: Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”; Charli XCX’s “360,” from the much-buzzed “BRAT” album; Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”; and Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido.” David Remnick weighs in to break the tie.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
