The bad news for Democrats is that time is short, and Kamala Harris needs Latino support
Harris doesn’t need to speak Spanish to Latino voters: the language they understand is opportunity Joe Biden, she is doing better than Biden was earlier this year. However, crucially, she is not doing as well as he did in the 2020 poll.suggests that relative to Biden in 2020, Harris is doing 10 points worse among white working-class voters and 18 points worse among working-class voters who aren’t white. Something is still not clicking for all working-class Americans.
Kamala Harris needs Latino support. But critics of her party say that will involve a considerable change in approach: nothing less than the ditching of a whole way of thinking on the left. The central mistake: this group is not, actually, a racial group. It does not see itself as an oppressed people. But it is very much an economically vulnerable group. Latinos are increasingly America’s working class, not college-educated, often running small businesses. They want to be talked to as citizens, not victims or outsiders. Language matters.
But something happened that torpedoed that picture. The financial crisis of 2008 led to a collapse in the numbers of Latinos coming to live and work in the USA. The jobs had dried up, particularly in construction.
