Obviously, this is about the midterm elections. Latino voters are shifting Republican, and Jill is trying to stop it. At the end of the day, this may not be enough.
According to News Nation. The Republican Party is seeing a shift in Hispanic voters. Just over 350 Latinos flipped to the Democratic Party in the last presidential election, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Latino voters, once a “solidly Democratic bloc,” are now emerging as a “swing group,” and their preferences are split along economic and class lines. An August survey conducted by the publication found that Latino voters would pick a Democrat for Congress over a Republican by 11 percentage points. That’s down from the Democrats’ previous 34-point advantage.

Also unhappy with the current immigration policy, Republican governors of Texas and Arizona have sent thousands of illegal immigrants coming into their states on buses to New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., in recent months.

If Jill Biden and the Democrats want to slow the shift of Hispanic voters from Democrat to Republican, they’re going to have to do a lot more than put the first lady in charge of Hispanic Heritage month. Perhaps someone who doesn’t see the Latino community as tacos would be a better spokesperson
