https://www.newsweek.com/latino-voters-donald-trump-joe-biden-debate-election-1918795Agroup of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.
Headlines about the Biden stumbling over his words and being difficult to hear have not stopped since he and Trump went head-to-head in the first 2024 presidential debate in Atlanta.
Even some Democrats have called for the party to reconsider its options, including Andrew Yang, who ran against Biden for the nomination in 2020.
"What's Joe Biden's superpower? That he's a good guy who will do the right thing for the country," Yang wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "In this case, that's stepping aside and letting the DNC choose another nominee."
But some Latino voters said otherwise, according to the American Spanish-language TV network Univision.
A clip posted on X shows the group being interviewed by a journalist. One man said he would vote for Biden because "Trump sounded like a crazy liar," according to Matt A. Barreto, professor of Political Science and Chicana/o & Central American Studies at UCLA.
The man being interviewed said Trump "said the same thing time after time" and was not answering questions or "saying how he would fix things," according to a Newsweek translation.
He went on to admit that "Biden was indeed a bit slow in talking," saying the president "has a stutter" but believes Biden explained "what he has done and what he is still doing while president.
