Trump tried connecting with Latino voters at his New Mexico rally tonight, touting economic gains that Hispanic communities have seen under his administration and their ability to understand border security “better than other people”
RIO RANCHO, N.M. — President Donald Trump has done little to expand his base since it carried him to victory 2½ years ago. Until now.
“We’ve over-performed with the number of Hispanics showing up to rallies each week, and the polling we’ve done today shows we can clearly win the state,” Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale told POLITICO as he mingled with supporters who arrived early for the president’s rally. Asked why he has so far refused to release those figures publicly, Parscale said it’s too early in the cycle to be parading out positive poll numbers.
“Winning New Mexico? If I had to put money on it, I don’t think he will,” Ramiro said, standing in line with a group of friends who joined him for the rally. The Trump campaign is betting that Hispanic voters like Perez will join independent voters in states like New Hampshire and Maine, where they believe the Democratic field’s progressive policy prescriptions are less attractive, to widen the base the president can count on next November. On Monday, Trump said he also expected to expand his appeal among “Venezuelans and Cubans” in parts of Florida, which is largely seen as his firewall in 2020.
“You’re doing better than any state in the United States,” he said. “How do I lose New Mexico? Explain that one. We’re here for a number of reasons, but we’re here because we really think we’re going to turn this state.”
