Do the 2020 Democratic candidates using Spanish appeal to voters who speak the language? The answer is as nuanced as the Latino electorate.
The field of Democrats vying to be the party’s nominee in 2020 has narrowed a bit. Here are the 20 candidates competing to face President Trump.Latino voters could be a major force in 2020, when they are expected to surpass African Americans to become the largest minority voting bloc, according to the Pew Research Center; an estimated 32 million Hispanic voters, a Pew category that includes Latinos and some non-Latinos, will account for more than 13% of all Americans eligible to cast a ballot.
Maria Luisa Escobar, a housekeeper at the Venetian hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, said she respects politicians who speak her first language. “When it comes time to vote, there are times when they feel like they can’t, because they don’t understand,” Escobar said, “so it’s important that the information is in Spanish.”
For Las Vegas resident Wendy Losada, hearing Spanish at the debate was a sign of acknowledgment. “I was very excited that he did that,” she said of O’Rourke, the first to answer a question in Spanish. “I was like, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you very much,’” said Losada, 50.Hector Fong Jr.’s first thought when candidates speak Spanish is that they’re pandering.
