A new figure has joined the group of Latino singers who have expressed their support for former President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming presidential elections on November 5.

The artist in question is Miguel Ignacio "Nacho" Mendoza, widely known as Nacho, famous for his role in the successful duo Chyno and Nacho. The Venezuelan singer-songwriter attended an event at the Trump National Hotel, located in Doral, Florida, on October 22. The gathering was held under the initiative "Latino Americans for Trump."

"Latino Americans for Trump"

The campaign event was led by Republican Senator Rick Scott and brought together various members of the Latino community in Florida, representing different productive sectors. The opening remarks featured critical comments toward Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, setting the tone for the meeting.

Upon his arrival, former President Trump was greeted with the song "God Bless America" and a handshake from Doral Mayor Christi Fraga.

Nacho's attendance at this event is particularly significant as the artist has been an active figure in political debates concerning his home country. For years, he has voiced his concern about the political and social crisis in Venezuela, and now it appears that he is channeling that activism into supporting the Republican candidate as he seeks a second term in the White House.

Nacho Isn't the Only Latino Artist for Trump

By attending the "Latino Americans for Trump" event, Nacho joins a growing list of Latino artists who have expressed support for the former president. Among the most notable are Nicky Jam and reggaeton stars Anuel AA and Justin Quiles.

Additionally, figures outside the U.S., such as Mexican actors Eduardo Verástegui and Patricia "Patty" Navidad, have shown their sympathy for Trump, despite not having voting rights in the country.

Support Despite Controversial Policies Toward Latinos

Donald Trump has proposed several policies that, if re-elected in 2024, could have a significant impact on the Latino community in the United States.

During his campaign, he promised to tighten immigration restrictions, including the revocation of temporary protected status (TPS) for some immigrants and the removal of work permits for those in the country illegally.

One of Trump's most controversial proposals is making it illegal to provide social benefits to undocumented immigrants. This measure, which could affect many Latinos, has been part of his campaign rhetoric since his first term, during which his administration also sought to limit access to welfare programs.
