Democratic vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, proposed forgiving loans of up to $20,000 each to 1 million small businesses. Meanwhile, former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump reached out to Latinos by organizing a roundtable in Doral, Miami.
During the event, surrounded by elected officials and Latino business leaders, Trump highlighted his economic management, claiming it was better for the Hispanic community than the current Biden administration. Both campaigns, Harris's and Trump's, aim to win the Latino vote, considered crucial in states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada.
Harris focuses on promoting her policies among Latinos and African Americans by offering forgiving loans for small businesses. Meanwhile, Trump emphasizes his approach to helping Latino men achieve the American dream. In the 2020 elections, 63% of Latinos backed Biden, according to AP VoteCast.
The strategies of Harris and Trump differ significantly. Harris plans to highlight her agenda to create more opportunities for Latino men, based on discussion groups and surveys. Meanwhile, Trump praised Goya Foods at the Latino roundtable and criticized Harris for her agenda and lack of public events.
The current campaign focuses on issues such as the economy, immigration, abortion rights, and democracy. Both candidates seek to gain support from a diverse electorate, with proposals such as the elimination of college requirements for jobs in the federal government.
