A group of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.

While this is still positive, the title is intentionally misleading. Biden was winning the Latino vote regardless. 90% of trumps points were about how Hispanic immigrants were trying to destroy the country.

You would be surprised how many latino people support Trump especially in states like Florida.

Cubans and Puerto Ricans are surprisingly racist against central and south Americans. Cubans are also hella catholic and big on anti abortion.

This is 100% accurate. In general, i think naive americans, especially liberals, just assume all immigrants are progressive and tolerant because they are minorities, so why wouldnt they be on the liberal side? But the fact is many immigrant groups often bring their own brands of racism and xenophobia with them from their home countries and cultures, as well as general resentment that other groups coming after them are being treated better and/or being given hand-outs that they weren’t, whether its true or not.

Add in the whole ultra-catholic thing like you mentioned with so many latinos, and boy you got a whole demographic that is primed to get suckered into the GOPs rhetoric
