Harris, Trump take economic pitches to Latino voters with Tuesday events
Vice President Harris and former President Trump are each looking to make their economic pitches to Latino voters, with the election just two weeks away.
While both see the economy — considered a top issue for voters across the board — as their best option to win over the critical voting bloc, their approaches are different.
According to recent polling, Harris leads Trump among Hispanic voters in the key battleground states but is underperforming when compared to the last three Democratic nominees for the White House.
With polling nearly tied nationally, both candidates are looking to secure every vote they can.

Harris events:
Harris will participate in a pre-recorded interview with Telemundo’s Julio Vaqueiro Tuesday afternoon.
The interview will air for a prime-time slot Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. ET, but highlights are set to air Tuesday during Telemundo’s 6:30 p.m. EDT newscast.
The Democratic presidential nominee plans to highlight how her agenda will create more opportunities for Latino men. She will show her plan to double the number of registered apprenticeships and provide small businesses with loans, The Associated Press reported.
The vice president will also speak about her plan to remove college degree requirements for some federal government positions and encourage private employers to do the same, according to the AP.
The vice president is also scheduled to sit for an interview Tuesday with NBC News’s Hallie Jackson, which will air Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m. EDT.

Trump events:
The former is scheduled to host a roundtable with Latino voters at his golf club in Doral, Fla., a suburb of Miami.
Trump plans to tell the voters that employment, wages and home ownership increased for Latinos during his term in office, and President Biden and Harris stuck them with high inflation, the AP reported.
The Republican presidential candidate will then head to Greensboro, N.C., for a rally.
Both candidates also previously sat for town halls with Univision, an American Spanish-language network.
Harris fielded questions on immigration and the economy, referring to herself as “a capitalist” when talking about the strength of the private sector. Trump detailed his plans to crack down on immigration, but largely avoided specifics of his plan when event attendees pressed him on his vision for the economy.
