MIAMI—Former President Donald Trump hosted a “Latino Americans for Trump” roundtable at his hotel and resort in Miami-Doral, Florida, on Oct. 22, hours before Vice President Kamala Harris sat down for a television interview with Hispanic television network Telemundo.

Both candidates are making pitches to Latino Americans in the final two weeks of the 2024 presidential election, especially as the historically Democratic-leaning voting bloc has been trending further toward Trump. A recent poll from USA Today–Suffolk University found that Latino voters favor Trump over Harris 49 percent to 38 percent.
