The Biden-Harris campaign took heat for failing to bring top Democratic campaign supporters who are Latino to Miami for the rollout of its Hispanic outreach initiative.
President Joe Biden, holds hands with Vice President Kamala Harris as he speaks at a reception in recognition of Black History Month in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024.
“Sending the Second Gentleman, as charming as he is, means we aren’t an important state. He isn’t a top presidential campaign surrogate in the party like the Obamas and Clintons,” she wrote. “He’s not a rising star relevant to Latinos like California Senator Alex Padilla, son of Mexican immigrants and climate change combatant, credited with passage of the POWER On Act to address disasters.”
The Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Florida shot back on X that they were “highly disappointed” to see Ms. Santiago “failed to recognize the presence of statewide Democratic leadership but also diminished the critical role of the Second Gentleman of the United States, Douglas Emhoff.” Miami radio host Robert R. Tejera said the lineup of local Hispanic figures was no substitute for administration officials.
