The President’s daughter-in-law said, “He has worked very hard to gain a lot of support in the Latino vote and I really think we're going to see historic numbers tonight for the President. You know this is a president that has worked hard for every single American and we've seen historically low unemployment for Hispanic Americans in particular under this president.”
“I’ll tell you whenever I talk to people in Florida people that have come from Venezuela from Cuba, they will tell you, they are 100% onboard with this president because they know he's standing up strong against socialism they have lived in a socialist country, they do not want to see that come to America,” Lara Trump added.
