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 mean I’m from the UK but votes in Texas absolutely do matter, arguably more than most states. Get your shit together man, it’s not just a presidential issue, it’s the entire government and the supreme court appointment at stake.

      Being from the UK, you might be unaware that Texas is not a battleground state. As a solid Red state, votes for national offices cast there have no effect.

      Sure, they can have Democrats as mayors of the urban centers, but the jerrymandered senate and congressional seats will go to Republicans.

        Yes I am aware that Texas is full of morons that vote to hurt themselves. However, 5,890,347 votes were cast republican, and 5,259,126 were cast democrat. It’s not as deep red sea as you believe it to be.

          Current projections show the state not turning purple 'til the end of the decade at the earliest thanks to the influx of Republicans from California and an exodus of Democrats to blue states like Colorado.

            So… That means don’t vote? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say to be honest
