Presidential hopefuls’ competition for Latino voters is ratcheting up this weekend with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., scheduled to lead a Spanish-language town hall for Bernie Sanders.
The campaign said Ocasio-Cortez is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the Las Vegas town hall for Sanders on Sunday.
The two are scheduled to be together the day before in Venice, Calif., for a rally.
The events are scheduled to follow Thursday’s debate in California, a state where more than 7 million Latinos are eligible to vote, including about 3 million who are not registered.
In Nevada, the Democratic Party has been holding trainings in Spanish to increase Latino participation in the state’s Feb. 22 caucus. Latino voters in the state helped usher in a Democratic candidate and senator.
Sanders has been polling well with Latino voters, particularly young voters.
