Biden heads to Florida in pitch to critical Latino voters

[Klaralven]

(Reuters) - Democrat Joe Biden on Tuesday will make his first campaign visit of the year to Florida, where opinion polls show a tight race against President Donald Trump amid signs of lagging support for Biden among the battleground state’s crucial Hispanic voters.

With less than 50 days until the Nov. 3 election, the Biden campaign is trying to overcome concerns about enthusiasm among Florida Latinos, as well as a disinformation campaign that has tried to paint the moderate Democratic nominee as a socialist.

A recent NBC News/Marist poll showed the two White House contenders in a dead heat in Florida and Trump with a 4-point edge over Biden among the state’s Latinos. Democrat Hillary Clinton won their votes by 27 percentage points in 2016, according to exit polls. Other polls have shown Biden leading among state Hispanics but still trailing Clinton’s support.

1. Bloomberg should spend ad money targeting Cubans. That's where

Biden is trailing Hispanic voters.

3. The old guard Cuban Americans are a lost cause

They think Biden is a socialista. The new guard Puerto Ricans on the other hand have every reason to vote for Biden after he handled things on the island.

2. Good for Biden. Generally a good idea for a candidate to visit swing States or any that

are showing signs of concern.
