At a summer barbecue at the vice presidential mansion in Washington, D.C., Kamala Harris welcomed Latino leaders, discussing her immigrant background and political journey. With 36 million eligible Latino voters, representing 15% of the electorate, Harris needs their support, particularly as polls suggest she falls short of the two-thirds support she needs to win. Recent polls show a divide among Latino voters, with many needing more information about Harris and her platform. Democratic efforts to target and engage Latino voters have increased, with a focus on key issues like inflation and jobs. While the Harris campaign has made strides in Latino outreach, there is still some work to be done in convincing Latino men to support her. At the Democratic National Convention, Latino leaders spoke about mobilizing and engaging Latino voters, emphasizing the importance of reaching out to different subsets of the Latino community. While some Latino voters like Gaby Pacheco have been won over by Harris’ message, others remain skeptical or undecided. Overall, the effort to secure Latino votes is crucial for the success of the Harris campaign, and strategic outreach will be key in the upcoming election.
