The 2024 presidential election is still over three years away, but campaigns are already gearing up for what is expected to be a highly competitive race. As part of their strategy to secure key swing states, the Trump campaign has recently opened a new outreach office in Reading, Pennsylvania.
This particular office holds significant importance as it is located in Berks County, which has a large Latino population. With the state’s 20 electoral votes up for grabs, both Democrats and Republicans will be vying for support from this demographic.
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Latinos make up over 18% of Berks County’s population, making them a crucial group for both parties to target. In the 2016 election, Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by only 44,000 votes, making it one of the closest races in recent history.
The new outreach office, situated in a heavily Latino neighborhood in Reading, will serve as a base for the Trump campaign to connect with and engage Latino voters in the area.
The office will also provide resources and support for local volunteers who will be tasked with reaching out to potential voters.
This move by the Trump campaign shows a strategic effort to expand their reach beyond their traditional base and appeal to a diverse range of voters. In addition to the new outreach office, the campaign has also launched Spanish language ads and held events targeted towards Latino communities.
In a statement, Trump Victory Spokesperson Samantha Zager said, “We are excited to open this new outreach office in Reading as part of our efforts to engage with all Americans. President Trump has a strong record of delivering results for Latinos and we are committed to sharing that message with the community here in Berks County.”
While there is still much time left before the 2024 election, the opening of this new outreach office serves as a reminder that campaigns are already working hard to secure key states and demographics.
As the race heats up, it will be interesting to see what other strategies both parties employ in their efforts to win over voters.
