There was no mistake in choosing the venue and location for Trump to juxtapose himself with the rest of the GOP field. Hialeah is a predominantly Hispanic suburb of Miami, a demographic group Trump has made huge inroads with since 2016, as NBC reports:
While the choice of city may come as a surprise to some, it’s part of Trump’s ongoing cultivation of the Latino vote in Florida.
Hialeah, a Republican bastion just outside Miami, is a blue-collar city that welcomes recent immigrants. Because the city is almost all Hispanic, it is considered one of the least diverse in the United States. More than 95% of its residents identify as Latino. Almost three-quarters were born in another country and Spanish is the dominant language.
Hialeah has grown rapidly since the 1960s when Cubans started settling in the area following the 1959 revolution and has seen subsequent waves of immigration from Cuba and other Latin American countries.
Hialeah resident Wendy Portilla, 44, says she would like to see Trump become president again. She said Trump chose the perfect place for his rally. “Es mi pueblo,” she said in Spanish, “it’s my town.”
There’s a growing general sense among voters of all persuasions and backgrounds that things were better with Donald Trump in the White House. Whether it’s the economy, a no-brainer in the era of failed Bidenomics, or foreign policy, the world seemed much more “under control” than it does now.
With wars breaking out on several fronts, it’s clear the Biden foreign policy of weakness and capitulation has failed spectacularly. For all the fear of Trump nuking China, or something absurd, the world seemed much more peaceful during Trump’s first term compared to Biden’s.
The decision by Trump to skip the third GOP debate will largely pay off as his speech will go unchallenged and he’s able to cut through the attacks and drive his message directly to the people.
Trump is expected to take the stage at 7 pm ET. Follow the Trump rally schedule for details and information on all upcoming campaign events and speeches.
