Latinos in Nevada have reportedly told CNN that they shifting toward “voting for Trump” due to the economic conditions they’ve experienced under President Joe Biden and Democrat Presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
CNN’s John King said she spoke with Hispanic voters in Nevada, a key swing state.
King warns that the demographic is increasingly shifting toward President Donald Trump.
“A lot of people are calling me, or calling us – Latinos, you know, talking about voting for Trump,” Rafael Cerros Jr. said.
erros launched a radio station alongside his friend Rogelio Regalado in Nevada in 2020.
The pair said the economy was “100%” why some Latino voters were leaning toward Trump.
King spoke to voters in Henderson, Nevada, about who they planned to vote for in November.
He also revealed what those voters have heard from others in their community.
“A lot of small businesses are struggling,” Cerros told CNN.
“It’s not 100% yet, to where it was.
“Especially with inflation.”
A Nevada real estate agent, Zoila Sanchez, also acknowledged high prices during the interview.
However, Sanchez said she was confident Harris would be the one to fix it.
Nevertheless, Sanchez said she heard a lot more Hispanics were considering Trump – male voters specifically.
“I want to understand it,” she told CNN.
“And I can’t. I really can’t… I think it is kind of a macho thing.”
Antonio Munoz, a retired police officer, veteran, and now bar owner, said he was leaning toward Harris.
Yet, Munoz admitted he doesn’t know much about Harris policies and wanted to know more.
“I’ve been checking her website and you read it, but it’s not specific,” Munoz told CNN.
“We do need to move forward.
“We need a different plan to get over the hump with this inflation that has caused severe damage to a lot of businesses…
“She needs to be more direct.”
Munoz also told the outlet that several of his friends longed for Trump’s pre-Covid economy.
He suggested that because Nevada elected a Republican governor in 2022, the political climate in the state could prove to be better for Trump.
“He has grown,” Munoz said of Trump’s standing among Latinos.
“I have friends that were Democrats who have turned the page.
“They feel that the country is not going in the right direction.”
A CBS reporter revealed on Wednesday that after visiting multiple restaurants in Nevada, she only found three Harris supporters.
CBS correspondent Adriana Diaz said:
“What was really incredible is, in every single restaurant, of the people willing to talk to us, we could only find one Harris supporter in every restaurant — and we left no stone unturned.
“I approached every single person, except for this one guy…
“But people are really excited about Trump.”
