Last week, a UnidosUS poll revealed that 28% of Latino voters across the country are undecided when it comes to which presidential candidate they'll vote for in November, a number that indicates potential vulnerabilities and opportunities for growth for both parties.
A few days later, the Harris campaign ramped up its Latino voter outreach by onboarding a group of Hispanic consultants who have worked with Democrats in past elections.
Now, Republican candidate Donald Trump has made his latest attempt at wooing the Latino vote by posting a video ad featuring him dancing to a classic Dominican song in which the lyrics have been altered to diss Kamala Harris.
The song in question is Juliana, a well-known staple of the Dominican Republic's songbook written by musician Cuco Valoy way back in 1979. In Trump's version, however, the song's chorus, which says "Juliana, qué mala eres" was switched to "Kamala, qué mala eres," which translates to "oh Kamala, you're so mean".
The video itself, uploaded to the former president's Youtube channel and posted on his campaign's official X account, begins with Trump driving a golf cart and tuning in to a playlist. That's when the aforementioned song starts playing, with the video then cutting to different clips of Trump dancing at rallies, which have been edited to show him dancing to the Salsa melody. The video also features clips of Harris laughing:
On Friday, Trump claimed that if elected he would execute large-scale deportations of migrants, beginning in Ohio and Colorado, CBS News reported. "We're going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country," he told reporters during a news conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. "And we're going to start with Springfield and Aurora." He also added that he's going to bring those migrants "back to Venezuela," although most of the migrants in Springfield are Haitian.
The former president is also reportedly planning to visit Springfield soon, amid the ongoing spread of false rumors that Haitian immigrants in Springfield are eating dogs and other pets
Trump has been dominating the headlines for being the target of what the FBI is investigating as an apparent assassination attempt in Florida.
