Hispanic voters get frank with CNN about life under Joe Biden — and why Trump was better: 'Right now, I work in three jobs'

Hispanic voters in Georgia told CNN in a report that aired over the weekend why life was better when Donald Trump was president.

CNN senior correspondent Miguel Marquez recently traveled to the Peach State, a presidential election battleground state, to gauge the pulse of the Hispanic community there. What he discovered is not good for President Joe Biden's re-election hopes.

Voter Gabriela Martinez, mother of a 6-year-old boy, voted for Biden in 2020. She expected positive changes under Biden — and it has been nothing but a letdown.

"I didn't see something really change. I didn't see changes and so I was expecting something," she told CNN. "Right now, I work in three jobs because I have to pay more [for] things. Like, my house is more expensive."

Juan Manuel Ferreria Zamora, meanwhile, was frank about the situation. Life was better when Trump was president, he said.

"[The] Latino community say when Trump was a president, we don't have high gas [prices] or inflation of the food," Ferreria Zamora said. "So, this is the truth."

Andres Parra, who works for a Hispanic voter advocacy group, corroborated these voters' sentiments. He told CNN that Biden does not have the Hispanic vote locked down in Georgia — despite the Democratic Party's potential assumptions.

"I think they're up for grabs from both parties," Parra said of the Hispanic vote. "I think there's a lot of frustration and a lot of broken promises."

Voter Diego Monsalve, moreover, told CNN that he is open to voting for either party. But the candidate who ultimately secures his vote will be the one who offers concrete solutions to economic issues and crime problems.

In 2020, Biden won a sizable majority of the Hispanic vote, as did Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections. But their majority is shrinking as an increasing number of Hispanic-Americans move toward the Republican Party, whose economic policies are more popular among the Hispanic community.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), in fact, proved last year just how vulnerable Democrats are when he won the Hispanic vote by a whopping 15 percentage points in his gubernatorial re-election bid.

The Republican nominee in 2024 could win a majority of Hispanic voters, but it is unlikely. What is likely, however, is that Hispanic voters will support Republicans in record fashion, as the recent electoral trends suggest.

CNN's report, indeed, proves that Hispanic voters are tired of broken promises and tired of being taken for granted.
