Vice President Kamala Harris is facing challenges in garnering support from Hispanic voters when compared to previous Democratic candidates, a situation that may jeopardize her prospects in crucial states this November, according to ABC News Political Director Rick Klein on Sunday. An ABC News poll published on September 15 indicated that Harris held a 17% lead over former President Donald Trump among likely Hispanic voters. Klein noted that this margin could potentially allow Trump to secure victories in Arizona and Nevada.
“Right now, our latest polling shows a solid lead among Latino voters for Kamala Harris, 17 points in our latest ABC-Ipsos poll from just a couple of days ago, but that isn’t nearly the edge she has among black voters or Asian voters and it isn’t nearly the edge that previous Democratic candidates for president have had — 30-plus point advantage for Joe Biden in the exit polls among Latino voters from four years ago,” Klein told “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos.
