Pennsylvania’s conservative push for Latino voters

(The Center Square) — As Pennsylvania’s Latino population grows, so too does its economic and political influence.
It’s an open question as to where their votes will go, and groups from the left and right alike want to bring them into the fold.
On Thursday, the center-right Libre Initiative launched its Pennsylvania chapter in Philadelphia, advocating for the removal of barriers to opportunity and elevating the concerns of Latinos statewide.
“You can’t ignore the growth of the Latino community here in Pennsylvania and when it comes to policy,” Libre President Daniel Garza said. “We want to build an army of public policy advocates and mobilize them.”

As groups like Libre get more active in Pennsylvania, Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is launching a “Latinos con Biden-Harris” push.
State Democrats argue that Biden represents a better America, while Trump is closer to the policies that pushed Latino immigrants to leave their home countries.
The Biden campaign sees Pennsylvania as a crucial part of its “blue wall,” along with Michigan and Wisconsin, to pull off a re-election.
