Harris and Trump campaigns fight for crucial Latino voters in battleground Pennsylvania

Both the Harris and Trump campaigns are fighting for Latino voters in Pennsylvania, where the past two presidential elections have been decided by a single point.

Fresh off his vice presidential debate, Tim Walz arrived Wednesday evening at a Puerto Rican-owned restaurant here in southeast Pennsylvania to speak with Latino voters. “This thing’s gonna come down to our ‘blue wall’ states, come down to Pennsylvania,” the Minnesota governor said at Mofongo Restaurant as diners sipped on colorful drinks. “Might come right through this restaurant,” he added. At the same time, just blocks away, a campaign office for Donald Trump hummed with activity, as Latino supporters of the former president worked the phones in English and Spanish. Marcia Heras, an immigrant from Ecuador, drove the hour from Allentown to make calls. “Familia, la vida y fin de la guerra,” Heras told CNN were the longtime conservative’s reasons for supporting Trump: family, life, and the ending of war.
