Political organizations are targeting Latinas, a growing and influential voting bloc in the United States, as they support Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Harris is emphasizing freedom, including reproductive rights and protection from gun violence, while Trump’s supporters are attacking Harris’ agenda as socialist. Latinas’ support for these candidates is crucial in battleground states, with polls showing varying levels of support for each candidate among this demographic.
Reproductive rights, including access to abortion and IVF treatments, are key issues for Democrats, while Republicans are focusing on the economy and freedom from what they label as socialist policies. Latinas are starting businesses at a faster rate than male Latino-owned and white-owned businesses, but face challenges such as access to financing and government contracts.
Both sides see Latinas as key to the election outcome, emphasizing their influence in their families and communities. Harris is proposing a $50,000 tax credit for small business startups, aimed at supporting women entrepreneurs like Ingrid Pino Duran, who see this as a potential game-changer. Overall, the battle for Latinas’ support is reflective of broader political debates around freedom, reproductive rights, and economic policies in the United States.
