This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I am John Bachelor. I welcome Thaddies McCotter writing in American greatness

about the Hispanic vote in the 2024 election cycle.

The largest minority in America, large enough to be right at this point a determinative

in a great number of states, some of them swing states, but a great number of states even if

they're one side or another. It's a big number spread out across the country. And

the question is, has either campaign Mr Mr. Trumps or Ms Harris, found a formula that can generalize

about the Hispanic vote.

That is a very good evening to you. You and I have talked over the years and I can recall the three months I spent in California once in teaching. I met a number of young Hispanic real estate magnates who were enjoying themselves, this is the

90s, enjoying themselves with prosperity and success, and I think of them often when I hear about the Hispanic vote because now it's what 30 years later

And the question is where are they now and where are they now is where America is now. They're

prosperous. There's nothing Hispanic particularly about how to appeal to them.

Taxes low and prosperity high appeals to everyone.

Is that the Hispanic vote that the,

at least the Harris campaign is appealing to,

the one that got rich back in the 20th century?

Good to you, John.

Well, it's really a Ms. Nomer, the question of a Hispanic vote because the experiences

are so different.

There's so many different aspects to this vote that There are Cubans or Puerto Ricans or

Dominicans. There are there are people all over. So to say that it is a

singular vote again it's kind of a misn, but it is a political shorthand that is often used.

The Democrats need to be very, very, to have very large numbers of Hispanic votes to go with their coalition.
