The focus Republicans are placing on Latino voter engagement in Nevada is impressive and much-needed, writes RealJimmyKimmey. Latinos are not single-issue voters, but when push comes to shove, jobs and the economy motivate their voters.
In July, Quinnipiac University released a poll that showed Biden’s approval rating among Latino voters at 19% and a disapproval rating at 70%. Daniel Garza, president of the Libre Initiative, a nationwide Latino outreach organization, shared with me that “with majorities of Latinos expressing their belief that America is heading in the wrong direction and feeling the pain of runaway inflation, it is no surprise to see a political realignment — benefiting the GOP — happening in real time.
Incumbent Senate Democrats in the Southwest face the biggest hurdle this November, and with a Democratic Senate majority hanging on by a thread, a loss in either Arizona or Nevada would be devastating for Democrats. They have focused for decades on appealing to Spanish-speaking communities, but with the party’s shift further to the left, these communities are feeling alienated and used.
Nevada has seen a 6% increase in Latino registered voters this year; when breaking those numbers down further, Democrats are seeing a statewide voter lead of only 2.8% . So, while Democrats do have a slight lead in the Silver State, the party seems to be focused on all the wrong things. Additionally, there is great momentum on the Republican side in Nevada. During the June 14 primary, Republicans received roughly 50,000 more votes in the state than Democrats. Latinos for Laxalt, a Latino outreach group for the Republican candidate, along with national groups such as the Libre Initiative and the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s Operación ¡Vamos!, are fully engaged in the state, promoting a pro-growth, pro-worker, and pro-free market message.
