! Latina reporter here. I have a thread about how we gave our readers a more nuanced understanding of the vote in Florida. For inquiring minds. 1/x
âDespite a late push to court Latino voters over the last several weeks, Joe Biden is ending his presidential bid on shaky and perhaps perilous ground with this diverse, essential segment of the electorate...â 2/x https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/03/us/politics/biden-latino-vote.html
âBiden, in turn, faces an increasingly urgent need to build up his margins with Latinos, a diverse demographic in Florida that he has struggled to broadly galvanize so far.â 3/x https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/29/us/florida-trump-biden-tampa.html
âIn a trend that went largely unnoticed by Democrats until lately, more recent Cuban immigrants who previously displayed little engagement in American politics have started to identify as Trump Republicans.â 4/x https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/25/us/miami-cuban-trump-biden.html
âBy repeating the racist tropes on the radio, Ms. Moncada spread it beyond her 45,000 Twitter followers and into South Floridaâs mainstream broadcast media, a worrying circle of misinformation targeting Latino voters in the biggest battleground state.â 5/x https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/21/us/politics/spanish-election-2020-disinformation.html
âAcross the state in Miami, though, itâs Mr. Bidenâs apparent slippage with Hispanics thatâs garnering the most attention and has Democrats wringing their hands.â 6/x https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/14/us/politics/florida-trump-biden-2020.html
âThe appearance by Ms. Harris, the Democratsâ vice-presidential nominee, signaled an acknowledgment by the Democratic ticket that it has been slipping among Hispanic voters in Florida.â 7/x https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/battleground-states-2020-election#florida-the-biden-campaign-knows-it-cant-afford-to-let-latino-voters-slip-away
âFor every expanding demographic force (Puerto Ricans in the Orlando area for Democrats), there is another force to match or surpass it (Midwestern retirees on the Gulf Coast for Republicans).â 8/x https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/16/us/can-democrats-win-back-florida.html
âPresident Trump is pushing Mr. Maduro to step aside, and if he succeeds, Democrats fear it could transform Venezuelan-Americans into loyal Republicans, much like Cuban-Americans.â 9/x https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/10/us/venezuelans-miami-republicans.html
âDemocrats will lose again in 2020 if they donât move swiftly to win over Hispanics, the pollster, Eduardo Gamarra, told the group. âYou just need to start now,â he said.â 10/x https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/13/us/politics/florida-democrats-2020-election.html
âDeploying the strategy in South Florida, a community shaped by Cubans who fled after the 1959 revolution, has higher stakes. It represents the core of Florida Republicansâ push to keep non-Cuban Hispanic voters from decamping to the Democratic Partyâ 11/x https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/10/us/florida-ron-desantis-governor.html
âWhat may be Mr. Nelsonâs most serious shortfall in the race so far is his failure to keep up with Mr. Scott in campaigning to a key demographic group: the stateâs Latinos who tend to vote less Democratic in Florida than elsewhere in the country.â 12/x https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/06/us/florida-bill-nelson-rick-scott.html
âThough Puerto Ricans tend to lean left, many have also registered as Florida voters without party affiliation, giving Republicans an opening to make a play for their support. If they are successful, they could grow their Hispanic conservative base.â 13/x https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/17/us/puerto-rico-florida-politics-midterm.html
Wouldâve filed this thread earlier but...was filing another nuanced story about Florida Latinos. /end https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/04/us/spanish-language-misinformation-latinos.html
