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

Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are focusing on economic policy to attract Latino voters, but their approaches differ significantly.

Vice-President Harris plans to emphasize how her agenda would create more opportunities for Latino men in an interview with Telemundo. Her strategy is based on feedback from focus groups and polling, and includes doubling the number of registered apprenticeships, removing college degree requirements for certain federal government jobs, and providing forgivable loans to small businesses.

Meanwhile, former President Trump is reaching out to Latinos by highlighting the economic progress made during his time in office. He argues that employment, wages, and home ownership increased for Latinos under his administration, and criticizes the economic policies of Harris and President Joe Biden.

Both campaigns see Latino men as a key demographic that could sway the election in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. Harris is confident that her policies will resonate with Latino men, while Trump believes he has made inroads with this group.

As the election approaches, both campaigns are focusing on engaging with a diverse electorate. Harris is also targeting Black men and younger women, while Trump is appealing to younger men through various media appearances.

Trump’s economic pitch to Latinos centers on his administration’s record of economic growth, while Harris is highlighting specific policy proposals to address the needs of Latino men, such as access to apprenticeships and capital for starting businesses.

While Trump emphasizes his business background and promises to address inflation through increased oil production and tariff hikes, Harris’ team has released a detailed policy guide outlining their economic plans.

As the race tightens, the Harris campaign is betting that Latino men will respond to policy specifics and proposals that address their economic concerns. Focus groups have shown that Latino men are interested in apprenticeships and access to capital for entrepreneurship.

Harris’ team is actively engaging with Latino media outlets to promote their economic agenda, while Trump continues to tout his business experience and economic record to win over Latino voters.
