Trump campaign predicts president will secure 40% of Hispanic vote in 2020

Trump campaign officials predicted the president would vastly increase his share of the Hispanic vote, which could help him ensure that he holds key states he won in 2016, such as Texas, Florida, and Arizona.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Trump 2020 senior adviser Jason Miller predicted President Trump would secure “north of 40% with the Hispanic vote nationally.” Campaign manager Bill Stepien, who was also on the call, noted, “That’s a third higher than 2016,” when an estimated 28% of Hispanics voted for Trump, according to a Pew Research exit poll.
