David Remnick：尽管卡玛拉·哈里斯的竞选活动势头强劲，但2024年总统大选仍然竞争激烈。特朗普获得更多拉丁裔选民的支持是一个关键因素。共和党对移民的强硬立场并没有让拉丁裔选民却步，特朗普在2020年获得的拉丁裔选民支持率高于2016年，并且在拜登退出竞选时，两者支持率不相上下。 Geraldo Cadava：特朗普在2016年至2020年间增加了约8%的拉丁裔支持率。这出乎许多人的意料，因为特朗普发表了关于墨西哥和中美洲人民的许多不实、误导性和种族主义言论，并实施了诸如边境儿童分离等政策。一些人认为拉丁裔选民对民主党的候选人感到不满，另一些人则认为拉丁裔选民正在转向保守派。 Bob Unanwe：他认为民主党抵制高雅食品公司（Goya Foods）的行为转移了人们对特朗普政府在拉丁裔繁荣方面的积极举措的注意力。他认为AOC、朱利安·卡斯特罗和林-曼努埃尔·米兰达并非真正的拉丁裔，因为他们拥有特权生活。 Betty Cardenas：她认为特朗普的竞选信息更具包容性，并对“美国优先”议程表示支持。她对“立即驱逐出境”的标语表示担忧，但她认为这指的是驱逐高危罪犯。她认为特朗普私下里并不支持大规模驱逐出境，并出示了特朗普支持“梦想者”的旧推文截图。 Carlos Trujillo：他认为特朗普在拉丁裔群体中的支持率正在上升，并预测特朗普将在2024年赢得迈阿密戴德县。他认为民主党将拉丁裔选民视为理所当然，没有尽力争取他们的支持。他认为信仰、家庭和自由是拉丁裔选民关注的核心问题，而民主党在这些问题上表现不佳。他认为民主党在边境问题和对西半球的政策上失误，损害了其在拉丁裔选民中的形象。他认为人们投票是基于个人利益，而不是集体利益。他认为特朗普对非法移民的警告已经成为现实，美国城市的犯罪率上升。

Shownotes Transcript

Despite a surge of enthusiasm for Vice-President Kamala Harris’s campaign, the 2024 race remains extremely competitive. And one factor very much in Donald Trump’s favor is an increased share of support from Latino voters. Anti-immigrant messaging from Trump and the Republican Party has not turned off Latino voters; he won a higher percentage of Latino voters in 2020 than in 2016, and he was roughly tied with President Biden at the time Biden stepped out of the race in July. Geraldo Cadava, the author of “The Hispanic Republican,” wrote about) the Republicans’ strategy for The New Yorker. He spoke with prominent Latino Trump supporters about why the message is resonating, and how they feel about all the signs reading “Mass Deportation Now.”

Plus, it’s time for one of those annual rituals that keeps the world turning: picking the song of the summer. “One way of thinking about it is a song that you hear involuntarily,” Kelefa Sanneh) opines. “This isn’t the song that you play the most. It’s the song you hear everyone else listening to.” He joins fellow staff writer Amanda Petrusich) to propose four candidates for song of the summer: Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”; Charli XCX’s “360,” from the much-buzzed “BRAT” album; Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”; and Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido.” David Remnick weighs in to break the tie.
