Donald Trump participated in a town hall at Univision, which has framed these candidate forums as events with undecided Latino voters. I’m not sure that’s the case. We still don’t know anything about those who asked the candidates the questions, but the audience members supported both. During Kamala’s town hall, the media heavily highlighted the undecided aspect. With Trump, there’s been barely a peep—maybe because liberal reporter Michael Tracey exposed the audience pool or that any event where Trump does well gets zero coverage. Who knows? It was funny how the Huffington Post felt the event didn’t go well because of Trump’s answer about January 6—no one cares about that little riot, guys. No one.

He later spoke about increasing economic opportunity, reducing inflation, protecting our Second Amendment rights, and controlling the border.
President Trump did a fantastic job on Univision tonight! He made it clear why Hispanic Americans are voting Republican at record levels. It's simple: we want safe communities, prosperous families, and a bright future for our children.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: We have a Second Amendment, and I'm very strongly an advocate of that. If you have a house out in the country or you're in a rough area, and the bad guy has a gun — if you don't have a gun you're finished. The toughest gun laws in the United States, by far, is in… pic.twitter.com/yHZDZwKdj8
