Latino Leaders And Evangelists Show Support For Trump During Miami Roundtable

Former President Donald Trump's roundtable discussion Tuesday with Latino leaders in Miami saw him being praised by influential business leaders and key supporters.

Trump was also presented with religious gifts as part of the event held at his Doral golf club.

Ramiro Peña, an influential Latino evangelist and a Trump supporter, said, "We lift up the man that we believe you've put your hand upon to help restore America and bring America back to the place that honors you," the Guardian reported.

Guillermo Maldonado, a Honduran televangelist and the founder of Miami megachurch the King Jesus International Ministry, also spoke at the event, predicting Trump would succeed in his push for a potential return to the White House.

"There's a higher assignment for him to finish with this nation. This is a war between good and evil. God sets up kings. He removes kings. We're going to pray for the will of God to make [Trump] the 47th president."

Trump was also praised by the president of Goya Foods, Robert Unanue. Goya Foods is the largest Latino-owned food company in the U.S.

"I can't believe your courage, your fight, and I know why you're doing this. You're not doing it for anything, but because you love this country. You love us, and we love you," he said.

The former president also spoke at the event, criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her "grossly incompetent."

He then went on to say, "I just saw a poll that we're actually leading with Hispanics. That's never happened before."

"If we lose this election, we may not have a country anymore. And I've heard this from a lot of very smart people ... they say we may never have an election again in this country," Trump said, adding, "We all know what happened with Venezuela," the Miami Herald reported.

The event took place just one day after a new poll revealed that when it comes to Hispanic voters in the battleground states, Harris was leading against the former president.

Without including third-party candidates, 59% of voters in Nevada, 62% in Michigan and 61% in Wisconsin said they supported Harris. In Arizona, 66% of voters said they supported Harris, while in North Carolina, 67% and in Pennsylvania, 77% backed her.
