Biden’s ties to Obama could hamper appeal to Latino voters
By WILL WEISSERT Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s tenure as Barack Obama’s vice president is complicating his efforts to deepen ties with Latinos who could be critical to winning the White House. For many Latinos, Biden’s embrace of the Obama years is a frightening reminder of when the former president ejected about 3 million people living in the U.S. illegally. That’s one reason Latinos overwhelmingly backed Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary. But with Sanders out of the race, Latinos face an agonizing choice. They could look past Biden’s resume and vote for him or sit out the election and risk another four years of President Donald Trump.
