Estados Unidos: Could Latinos sway the US election?
November鈥檚 vote could highlight the political power of the country鈥檚 largest minority group.
November鈥檚 presidential election could highlight the political power of the largest minority group in the United States. Roughly one in five people in the US identifies as Latino, and in a close race, which way they vote could prove crucial, particularly in several swing states being keenly targeted by both major parties.
On this episode of The Global Story, we explore the main political issues of importance to Latinos and examine some of the Spanish-language misinformation being disseminated in order to influence voters. With just weeks to go until the next occupant of the White House is decided, we look at how the Democrats and Republicans are targeting their messaging in order to win around crucial votes from the community.
Caitr铆ona Perry is joined by US Digital reporter Bernd Debusmann Jr. and the 大象传媒鈥檚 South America correspondent Ione Wells.
