the country. yes, the majority vote democrat. but in 2020, there was an enormous shift to the republican party. the future of our democracy in the ballots, i wanted to find out what s fueling that rightward shift in latino communities across the. country so we ll have a conversation about all these things straight ahead. but first, this field report from florida. thank you. as you can imagine, politics is a total blood sport. the reason i m a republican is those are my values. i think that s resonating with others experiences as well. how many of you voted for trump in 2020? i m scared to say that i voted for trump. but i also voted for obama. the biggest misconception is that latinos are supposed to be democrats. we just won the capital. my first language is spanish. i m definitely not a white supremacist. i had a right to be there and protest.

a total blood sport. the reason i m a republican is those are my values. i think that s resonating with others experiences as well. how many of you voted for trump in 2020? i m scared to say that i voted for trump. but i also voted for obama. the biggest misconception is that latinos are supposed to be democrats. we just won the capital. my first language is spanish. i m definitely not a white supremacist. i had a right to be there and protest. [speaking spanish] he s the best damn president in u.s. history. to believe that the 20 traction election was stolen? i believe president trump won that election and voter fraud occurred. for me, 2020 was the political awakening. your children are not safe in the school system. excuse me, ma am. i don t have anything against the lgbtq community at all. i don t think the kid should have it pushed on them. all right, lately, that was so good. [speaking spanish] it s always socialism, socialism, shalom.
i don t mind the skin color. i was just going to say, because for other people, white means americans. and that s not the case. white, latino, hispanics regardless of how they identify, there is the largest minority voting bloc in the country. so it matters that the shift in nearly ten points to the right in the last presidential election. are you seeing this trend increase among latinos. ? more democrats going for republicans? i think the reason they re such a massive shift with the hispanic demographic goes back to the values systems. many hispanics actually ally with the judeo-christian value system. the reason i m a republican, a conservative, is those are my values as a human being. that is how i was raised and how i will vote. and i think that is resonating with others as well.

august 2nd which comes next week. we re seeing that trend increase, mercedes. it s been announced that the department of veterans afaurz is mandating vaccines among its medical workers, something president biden just addressed in the oval office minutes ago. first federal agency to mandate it. could this set the precedent for others to follow suit? i certainly hope it does, ajman. that is because health care workers who are working with individuals in vulnerable settings are the gateway to protecting health or harming health through exposing individuals to risk. we have reached a point where we have stalled out on voluntarily vaccinating adults. very many are seeking not to vaccinate. and the wait to move the needle forward, to get to those target numbers of 70% or 80% are for workplaces to get onboard.
