A group of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.

A clip posted on X shows the group being interviewed by a journalist. One man said he would vote for Biden because “Trump sounded like a crazy liar,” according to Matt A. Barreto, professor of Political Science and Chicana/o & Central American Studies at UCLA.

The man being interviewed said Trump “said the same thing time after time” and was not answering questions or “saying how he would fix things,” according to a Newsweek translation.

He went on to admit that “Biden was indeed a bit slow in talking,” saying the president “has a stutter” but believes Biden explained "what he has done and what he is still doing while president.

“After being undecided for a little while, I think today, I switched to Biden,” he added.

    I feel like even though biden didn’t perform well, trump just said way too many obvious lies. Like saying the nazi rally in charlottesville was just a lie made up by biden?? Despite there being photos of it???

      It’s basically just depends if you stayed tuned. I mean I have perfect sympathy for someone who watched the first 15 or 20 minutes and then turn it off because you know damn. However the longer it went the worst Trump got and Biden kind of leveled out though never got impressive by any means.

            Y’all need to figure out how to regulate your emotions better.

            Is everyone posting in this thread an alcoholic or something?

            I’m starting to think the takeaway from this entire post is how irrational and emotional Americans are, regardless of who they support.

              This is common knowledge to the extent the old Avalon Hill military strategy board games from 50 years ago had rules to emphasize the emotional instability of american troops.

      I guess I’m a cynic - I didn’t expect anyone not already convinced that Trump was a liar to be convinced by his usual performance. But I guess most people don’t spend their time chewing their fingers down to the bone religiously watching political developments like some of us do.

      Probably healthier for them.

      It’s also early. We still have 5 months and way more debates.

      He was saying that the Dems saying that he said there were fine people in the KKK or that the people coming out of the woods carrying torches swastikas were fine people was a lie…

        It was a nazi rally organized by nazis where they literally marched down the street in columns at night with flaming torches shouting “blood and soil” and “the jews will not replace us,” both Nazi slogans. One of the nazis rammed his car into a crowd a anti racist protests at high speed, killling 1 and injuring dozens.

        This is the rally he replied to with “there are fine people on both sides.” He then hedged and said he didn’t support nazis, seconds after supporting nazis.

        It’s almost like the man could have flat out condemned nazis with no intentional ambiguity, but nah.
