On Monday, MSNBC interviewed two hispanic women voters in the swing state of Nevada where they explained how much better off they were under former President Donald Trump’s economy and plan for the future.
Currently, Kamala Harris has a narrow 14 point lead amongst hispanic voters across the country according to NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC polling. The two Las Vegas hispanic women told “Ana Cabrera Reports” they were much better off under the Trump economy and negatively expressed their feelings regarding a potential Kamala Harris administration citing her lack of effectiveness as Vice President.

“I love what Donald Trump did for us as an economy while he was in the presidency. And I don’t know what she has to offer because she’s new. So that’s kind of like taking a chance on her, you know? So that’s what I mean,” Griselda Martinez said during the interview. “But I do like how she is doing a lot of things for small businesses.”
Martinez told MSNBC national correspondent David Noriega “she’s about 60/40 leaning toward Trump, but still very much open to being persuaded and open to hearing more from the Harris campaign.”
“The four years he was in office we were doing good, absolutely good … Kamala, she’s already in office and ain’t [got] shit done,” Veronica Sosa bluntly explained to Noriega. “And … there was more work too. We were able to afford things.”
Both Noriega and Sosa plan to vote for the former president. According to the latest RealClearPolling average in Nevada, Harris holds a small lead of 1.3 points.
ABC News Political Director Rick Klien recently explained how Harris is performing poorly amongst the Hispanic voters when compared to many previous years Democratic candidates.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten described former President Trump performing well with “working-class voters” which includes many “voters of color” who are “non-college graduates” when compared to previous Republican candidates including when the former president ran in 2016 and 2020.
“You go back four years ago, look at that, Joe Biden won that group by 45 points. Look at where Kamala Harris’ support is today. She’s still leading amongst that group, but that lead is down 17 points to just 28 points,” Enten said. “And I will note that the margin among voters of color who actually graduate college has only been changed by five points … compared to four years ago. The reason Donald Trump is doing so well amongst voters of color is because he has really gone in and grabbed a lot of voters that he didn’t previously have among those who didn’t graduate college.”
