President Joe Biden voiced his belief that former President Donald Trump holds negative views towards Latinos. This statement comes as President Biden traveled to Nevada and Arizona, two states that have large Hispanic populations and crucial swing states in elections.

Biden participated in an interview on Monday with Raúl Molinar of Univision Radio. During the interview, he strongly criticized the presumptive Republican nominee for his remarks about immigrants and certain aspects of his immigration policy that have sparked controversy. 

Biden Launches Latino Voter Initiative

Biden is making attempts to improve his appeal to Latino voters, particularly in Arizona and Nevada. The voting bloc has shown a tendency to lean towards Trump due to extensive Republican outreach.

Trump made unpopular remarks about migrants, referring to them as "not people."

According to Biden, immigrants have had a negative impact on the country and there have been instances of separating children from their parents at the border and placing them in cages.

"Latinos were essential to my win in 2020, and they'll be again essential," affirmed Biden. "I'm working hard to earn their vote."

Biden's coming journey out west will serve as the launch of the "Latinos con Biden-Harris" initiative, a campaign dedication intended for developing a strong partnership between Latinos and the Biden-Harris ticket. With an extensive television advertising campaign, the initiative seeks to actively involve and rally Latino voters throughout the area.

During his travels, the 81-year-old president reveals the economic achievements of his administration, while also addressing important topics like abortion rights and immigration reform, recognizing their significance to Latino communities.

Biden's campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, insists Latino voters' crucial role in the president's 2020 success. Rodriguez blasts Trump's "anti-Latino agenda," praising Biden as Latino advocate,.

"I need you back," Biden also told several dozen supporters packed into a local Mexican restaurant.

Biden's Latino Outreach in Crucial Arizona

In Nevada, Biden will be making stops in Reno and Las Vegas, two cities known for their vibrant political situations. During his visit, he plans to concentrate on fixing issues related to housing affordability and connecting with his supporters at various campaign events. He then goes to Phoenix, Arizona, for the Latino campaign launch and a major industrial launch.

Observers are keenly aware of the importance of Arizona, considering the narrow margin of victory for Biden in the previous election. With a 0.3 percentage point edge over Trump, Arizona remains an essential battleground for both parties.

Biden's western tour extends further into Texas, where he attends fundraising events in Dallas and Houston. Despite trailing Trump in key swing states according to recent polls, Biden remains steadfast in his pursuit of Latino support, recognizing its electoral significance.

Although Trump's stance on immigration appeals to certain groups of voters, new polls suggest a changing flexible among Latino voters. Border security and immigration policies are becoming significant factors in shaping the political preferences of Latino voters, presenting a challenge for the Biden campaign.

Changing processes within the Latino electorate indicate the complex aspects of political messaging and strategy in a community that is diverse and multifaceted. With the Latino population steadily increasing and now making up 19% of the US population, both political parties are actively seeking their support by presenting different narratives and policy proposals.

With the election drawing near, the race for Latino support is turning up, as Biden and Trump adopt different approaches to win over this important demographic. Biden encourages inclusion and participation, while Trump promotes immigration enforcement and border protection, citing history.

Trump's reference to President Eisenhower's immigration enforcement policies highlights the historical backdrop surrounding current immigration discussions.

The efforts made by the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s to address undocumented immigration from Mexico have become an important guide in ongoing discussions related to border security and immigration reform, The Dispatch reported.
