Former United States President Donald Trump held a rally in New Mexico where he highlighted the importance of the Hispanic vote and claimed that he treats them better than the Democrats. During his speech, Trump praised the Hispanic community, calling them intelligent and entrepreneurial, while criticizing his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he labeled incompetent.
At the rally, Trump expressed his intention to launch a mass deportation program and reiterated his anti-immigrant rhetoric, promising to 'rescue' cities and towns from supposed invasions and imprison criminals. Additionally, he lamented not having visited New Mexico earlier but considered them small mistakes. In the midst of his speech, he was briefly interrupted by a medical emergency involving an attendee.
The former president emphasized his affinity with Hispanics, stating: 'I treat them much better than the Democrats, who are destroying the country.' Trump took the opportunity to reinforce his message and position himself as an alternative to his political adversaries, assuring that November 5, 2024, would be 'the day of the liberation of the United States.'
Although Trump is on unfavorable ground in New Mexico, where polls show Kamala Harris with an advantage, the Republican candidate continues to bet on the Hispanic vote. Despite recent controversies, such as the uproar generated by racist comments at previous events, Trump seeks to solidify his support among Latinos in a state where the Hispanic community represents a significant percentage of the population.
