    • Harris bets her policies can attract Latino voters while Trump touts his time as president to them

    Share
    WASHINGTON -

    Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump see economic policy as their best chance to win Latino voters. But their approaches are very different.

    In an interview with Telemundo on Tuesday afternoon, U.S. Vice-President Harris plans to highlight how her agenda would create more opportunities for Latino men 鈥 a strategy born out of roughly a dozen focus groups and polling.

    The Democratic nominee intends to show off her plans to double the number of registered apprenticeships. She wants to stress how she would remove college degree requirements for certain federal government jobs and encourage private employers to do likewise. And Harris wants to provide forgivable loans worth up to US$20,000 each to 1 million small businesses.

    Former President Trump, the Republican nominee, made his own outreach to Latinos on Tuesday, hosting a roundtable with them in Doral, a Miami suburb. Surrounded by elected officials and business leaders who are Latino, Trump touted the economy during his administration, which he argued was better for the Hispanic community than during the Biden administration.

    The Trump and Harris campaigns see what could be an election-deciding opportunity with Latino men, who could swing the outcome in states such as Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada if their traditional support for Democrats erodes. Trump believes he's made inroads among Latino men. Harris' team is seeking to shore up support within the same group with the election just two weeks away.

    It sets up a question of whether memories of a Trump presidency or the promise of new policies under Harris will do more to energize Latino voters.

    "We are very confident that these policies resonate because we've seen them resonate in speeches and focus groups," said Matt Barreto, a Harris campaign pollster. "It speaks to Latino men in particular about being successful and achieving the American dream."

    In 2020, AP VoteCast found that 9% of voters nationwide identified as Latino and 63% of them backed Biden in the election. That race was defined broadly by the pandemic that shut down much of the country, whereas this year's race has issues such as the economy, immigration, abortion rights and democracy at the forefront.

    Both campaigns are jockeying for an edge with the increasingly diverse electorate in the closing weeks of the campaign. Harris has also focused on Black men, to whom she also pitched the forgivable loans for small businesses. She's gone on the podcast "Call Her Daddy" to appeal to younger women, while Trump has appeared on podcasts to target younger men.

    On Tuesday at the Latino roundtable, Trump complimented Goya Foods, whose CEO, Bob Unanue, is a vocal supporter of the former president and attended the event.

    "It's actually quite good out of the can," Trump said of the company known for its beans and other products.

    Trump also disparaged Harris, whose schedule included meetings in Washington and interviews with Telemundo and NBC, but no public events.

    "Who the hell takes off when you have 14 days left?" he told the group. ""She's lazy. She's lazy as hell."

    In a close race, the Harris campaign is betting that Latino men are getting more attuned to policy specifics as the election draws closer.

    Based on focus groups, Barreto said the Harris campaign found that Latino men in particular wanted access to apprenticeships that could give people without college degrees access to a financially stable career.

    The latest Labor Department figures show there are 641,044 registered apprenticeships, an increase from the Trump administration, when apprenticeships peaked in 2020 at 569,311. Doubling that figure as Harris has proposed would put the total number of apprenticeships at roughly 1.2 million over four years.

    Latino men also expressed a need for access to capital and credit to start companies, as the Treasury Department reported on Oct. 10 that Latino business ownership is up 40% over pre-pandemic levels and could keep climbing with better financing options.

    Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will be on Univision鈥檚 El Bueno, La Mala, y El Feo, a syndicated radio show, this week, while Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, will be interviewed this week by Univision鈥檚 nationally syndicated afternoon radio show, El Free-Guey Show. Emhoff will also be interviewed by Alex 鈥淓l Genio鈥 Lucas on Nueva Network Radio.

    Trump hopes to convince Latinos that they can trust a fellow businessman such as himself, even as he's also called for the mass deportation of immigrants in the country illegally.

    鈥淗ispanic people 鈥 they say you can鈥檛 generalize, but I think you can 鈥 they have wonderful entrepreneurship and they have 鈥 oh, do you have such energy. Just ease up a little bit, OK? Ease up,鈥 Trump said at an Oct. 12 event. 鈥淵ou have great ambition, you have great energy, very smart, and you really do like natural entrepreneurs.鈥
