area so the Cuban Americans there can actually get to know him. At the moment they are trending for Trump, for the most part because the Rethugs have successfully painted the Democratic Party as the home of "socialism", a la Bernie Sanders. If Biden lets these Latinos actually get to see him and hear him directly I believe he can bring about enough of a shift to ensure that he wins Florida.

It contains the non-cuban latinx living in the state, especially Puerto Ricans. Working the corridor is what got Scott and DeShantis elected. I expect Scott to be back in the area soon working for IQ45. The Venezuelans in the corridor are a hard sell for Democrats, many are refugees from the Chavez revolution. So Biden needs to have a good plan for Venezuela that doesn't include the current leadership.

I thought they leaned conservative and them voting for repubs isn't new.
