Trump and Harris dueling for Hispanic vote with separate Univision town halls

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are scheduled to engage with undecided Hispanic voters at two separate town halls, according to an announcement from Univision.

Univision is the country’s premier Spanish-language network, dominating the television market for Hispanic viewers. The announcement comes as both campaigns duel to capture the Hispanic vote in November.

“There are more than 36 million Hispanics eligible to vote in the U.S., making them the largest minority in the country, with the power to influence the outcome of the race for the White House and the future of the nation,” Univision News President Daniel Coronell said in a statement Tuesday.

The town halls will take place next month as undecided Hispanic voters press the two candidates on the economy, jobs, healthcare, immigration, and foreign policy.

Trump’s town hall will take place in Miami and air on Oct. 8. Harris will appear in Las Vegas two days later.

“The events will put an electorate that represents close to 15% of the voting bloc front and center, creating a forum exclusively for Latinos,” a press release reads.

With just 40 days until the presidential election, Harris and Trump are in a tight race to win the White House. The Hispanic voting bloc will be critical to giving one of them the victory come November, as swing states such as Arizona and Nevada are home to significant Latino populations.

Hispanics appear to be trending to the right. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney took only 27% of the Hispanic vote during the 2012 presidential election, but eight years later, Trump claimed 38%. The latest polling from the New York Times showed the former president capturing 40% of the Hispanic vote in battleground states.
