– “I am going to work like the devil to make sure I turn every Latino and Hispanic vote.” So says Joe Biden, who’s making his first campaign visit of the year to Florida on Tuesday, where opinion polls show a tight race against President Trump amid signs of lagging support for Biden among the battleground state’s crucial Hispanic voters. With less than 50 days until the election, the Biden campaign is trying to overcome concerns about enthusiasm among Florida Latinos, as well as a disinformation campaign that has tried to paint the moderate Democratic nominee as a socialist, Reuters reports. A recent NBC News/Marist poll showed the two White House contenders in a dead heat in Florida and Trump with a 4-point edge over Biden among the state’s Latinos. Democrat Hillary Clinton won their votes by 27 percentage points in 2016, according to exit polls. Other polls have shown Biden leading among state Hispanics but still trailing Clinton’s support. Trump won Florida over Clinton by just 1.2 percentage points, which helped propel him to the White House. His inroads with Florida Hispanics have been fueled by his strength with conservative Cuban-Americans, a Republican-leaning bloc he has courted throughout his presidency. “Clearly, there has been some hemorrhaging of Hispanic support going on, mainly Cuban-Americans,” Florida State Senator Annette Taddeo, a Colombian-American, tells Reuters. “The Republicans have worked really, really hard, and they have been constantly present.” Biden has vowed to “turn every Latino and Hispanic vote” and has stepped up Spanish-language and bilingual advertising. He will be in Florida on Tuesday, where he’s a rally will focus on issues including health care and the death penalty.
