Biden is underperforming among Latinos, particularly those from working-class backgrounds, according to multiple polls. His campaign announced this month it was making its first minority voter radio advertisement buy as part of its $25 million paid media program.
“This historic investment reflects our commitment to earning every vote and doing so well ahead of November 2024,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said. “Tapping into trusted messengers early with such a robust radio buy is the latest example of how we’re showing up and meeting black and Latino voters where they are.”
