“From day one, President Donald Trump has constantly made life harder for Latinos. His anti-Latino and anti-immigrant rhetoric has led to horrific racist attacks against Latinos across the country. This is why the overwhelming majority of Latino voters continue rejecting him and the do-nothing Republicans,” said Latino Victory Fund Executive Director Mayra Macías. “With Latinos becoming the largest non-white voting bloc in the 2020 election, rest assured that Latinos will be the reason why we defeat Trump and Republicans next November.”
The poll also revealed that health care, the economy, immigration and climate change are the top issues for Latinos ahead of next year’s election— issues that Republicans and Trump have been abhorrent on. Earlier this year, Latino Victory Fund launched a website “TrumpWinsWeLose.com” took an in-depth look at how Trump’s policies are hurting hard working Latino families.
