What’s Happening:
Recent reports have suggested President Biden is losing ground. He is behind Donald Trump in several must-win battleground states, based on some 2024 polls.
Democrats appear to be scrambling to come up with an alternative, but it is unlikely they will find one.
Now, former President Trump has announced an alliance with an unexpected force. This could be a sign of a major shift in a top voting demographic.
From The Post Millennial:
2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has formed a tight alliance with the Spanish-language network Univision as Hispanic voters move away from the Democrat party…Trump hosted a trio of Univision executives at Mar-a-Lago for an hour-long Univision interview, which began with a question regarding how well the former president was polling among Latino voters, according to the Washington Post.
Trump has apparently formed a tight union with Spanish-language juggernaut Univision. The network is the top Spanish-speaking cable channel in the United States. Previously, Trump had been critical of the network, which had been owned by NBC.
But recently, Trump welcomed three top executives from Univision to interview him at Mar-a-Lago. The event was made possible thanks to Jared Kushner, who is friends with one of the network executives.
It appears this relationship goes beyond a simple interview. The network appears to be angling to aid Trump’s 2024 campaign. They canceled ads purchased by the Biden campaign, which would have been aired during the Trump interview.
Univision also canceled a booking with Biden Hispanic Media Director Maca Casado, who wanted to respond to the Trump interview.
This comes as polling shows Hispanic voters moving away from Biden toward Trump. Biden won 59% of the Latino vote in 2020; Trump won 38%. In a recent poll, however, Trump enjoys 47% support from Hispanic voters, while Biden’s lead has dropped to 53%.
Democrats appear to be deeply worried about this Trump-Univision lovefest. DNC member Maria Cardona claimed the current ownership of the network is “co-opting and kidnapping the soul and mission of what Univision.”
It is likely that Democrats and the Biden campaign are terrified of Hispanic voters moving to the right. Many pundits blame Biden’s handling of the Southern border and ongoing economic troubles for this switch.
Key Takeaways:
- Donald Trump and Univision have forced a “tight alliance,” according to reports.
- The network conducted an hour-long interview with Trump by three top executives.
- This comes as Hispanic voters are moving away from President Biden to side with the Republican.
