Gov. Greg Abbott and Beto O'Rourke spend $8 million in battle for Spanish speaking voters
The video has received nearly half a million views on the platform and captured a moment that appeared quite genuine, according to anthropologist Cecilia Ballí.
“The fact that he speaks Spanish is also to his advantage,” said Cortina, who said despite being a white, non-Latino O'Rourke understands how to connect with young voters who are more likely to be interested in multicultural or bicultural societal issues, due to his experience living in El Paso — and he's connecting on topics that resonate with voters.
At the event, Consuelo Ramírez, a domestic worker and political organizer introduced herself to O'Rourke and asked, in Spanish, for his support in improving wages for workers like her. But Carney, Abbott’s political consultant, disagrees with the notion that O’Rourke has any edge as a Spanish speaker, or that he’s any more qualified to speak to what appeals to Latino voters.
The latest polling from the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas-Austin shows that while Abbott leads O'Rourke by 5 percentage points in the race, 52 percent of Latinos said they would vote for O'Rourke, compared to 33 percent who said they would vote for Abbott.
