While Latino and Hispanic voters aren\u2019t a monolith, creating in-roads with them would put several states Democrats have taken for granted in recent cycles in play, Michael LaRosa, who is a former press secretary for first lady Jill Biden and special assistant to President Joe Biden, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/21\/opinion\/trump-vp-pick-marco-rubio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>wrote<\/a> in an op-ed for the <em>New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there is something Latino voters have in common: their Latin American roots and the pride that comes from casting a vote for someone who looks and talks like them,\u201d LaRosa wrote. \u201cMr. Rubio would break a significant cultural barrier as the first Latino on a national ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rubio could help Trump convince large Latino constituencies in swing states Arizona and Nevada while shoring up Republican-leaning Florida. It also could make normally Democratic New Mexico, which has the largest proportion of Hispanics in the United States, interesting.<\/p>\n<p>There has been some doubt about whether Rubio could serve as Trump\u2019s vice president, given the 12th Amendment doesn\u2019t allow for a president and vice president to be from the same state, in this case, Florida, without losing its electoral votes.<\/p>\n<p>LaRosa said this concern is \u201coverblown,\u201d citing former Vice President Dick Cheney\u2019s residential switch from Texas to Wyoming, and he thinks Rubio could do something similar.<\/p>\n<p>LaRosa said Trump selecting Rubio would be taking a page out of Biden\u2019s 2020 campaign playbook. When he selected Vice President Kamala Harris, he made the choice to appeal to voters of color, a move that worked as black women turned out for the Biden-Harris ticket.<\/p>\n<p>And winning over Hispanic and Latino voters will matter in states where they make up smaller shares of the electorate but where the races are still considered tight.
