The Latino Vote in 2020
From plans to build a wall, to calling Mexicans rapists, President Trump has done a lot to anger Latino voters, and yet according to the PEW research center a third of Latino voters still support him. Maria Hinojosa, anchor and executive producer of Latino USA, and the author of the forthcoming Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in a Torn America (Simon and Schuster, 2020), talks about Trump's popularity among Latino voters, and after "Tio Bernie's" popularity whether Biden can make up lost ground.
