The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) campaign arm is launching its voter mobilization efforts ahead of November’s election through alliances with grassroots groups in Arizona, Florida and Texas.

Bold PAC is announcing the effort Thursday, focusing on the three states with key congressional races.

“Latino voters will be integral to the 2024 elections, deciding whether Democrats are able to defend the White House, Senate, and take back the House,” Bold PAC Chairwoman Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) said. “There is so much at stake for our community, and the future of America, highlighting the importance of ensuring that Latinos are mobilized and energized to vote for Democrats in November,”

The political action committee’s core mission is to expand the CHC’s membership, but its unique focus on Hispanic voters gives the group unique access to that electorate, where other official party committees sometimes struggle.

2. Hispanics for Trump never made any sense to me.

Of course, Hispanic-Americans don't speak with a single voice. But white Trumpsters don't know or care. Hispanic people, whether Cuban-American, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Honduran, or Peruvian, are all "those people", and white Trumpsters hate them all.

3. "Of course, Hispanic-Americans don't speak with a single voice"

And that's why you have a group that supports 45. Many of them identify as "white" (many Cubans who had fled there and many from South America like Argentina).

There are all different ancestral nationalities in that group, no different from Francophones here (whether from France, Haiti, Congo, or French Guiana, etc).
