In battleground Pennsylvania's 'Latino belt,' undecided voters are paying attention
Latino voters in the predominantly Hispanic city of Reading in the battleground state of Pennsylvania say they are paying attention to the recent political changes though some are not sure who they're voting for yet.
READING, Pa. — In this majority-Latino city, brothers and barbers Samuel and David Delacruz said that lately, the talk of the town is politics — and they're newly energized to cast their ballots.
The brothers, who are of Dominican descent, first spoke to NBC News before former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in the state and before he announced his pick of Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate — and before Vice President Kamala Harris became the de facto Democratic presidential nominee.
"Wow. It’s been exciting. It’s been such a unexpected change," Samuel Delacruz said of the changes in the national political scene. He said Harris "has direction, and it evens the playing field between the two candidates."
Samuel Delacruz and his brother David are firmly undecided about who to vote for in November’s elections.
The population of Reading is 67% Latino, and it's one of the cities and towns referred to as the state's "Latino belt."
