In a recent interview with CBS News, Latino voters rejected accusations that former President Trump is a “threat to democracy,” telling network reporter Weijia Jiang, “Democracy is a threat to democracy in 2024. He said he “does not support” the claim that the matter will be put on the ballot.
Three Hispanic residents of Arizona interviewed Mr. Jiang in a segment aired on CBS Evening News on Wednesday, saying they did not believe Mr. Trump’s “threats” one bit and that the media and Democrats were calling it “death.” “I’m using it up to the point,” he said.
A notable moment came when Jiang told three voters, “President Biden calls President Trump a threat to democracy and is putting democracy at the center of his campaign. Democracy is on the ballot in 2024. Is it true?”, he said.

Latino voters told CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang that they disagree that former President Trump is a “threat to democracy.”
As soon as the question was asked, all three of them started smiling and one even started laughing at it.
Republican business owner Steve Macias responded, “I don’t accept that argument.”
“I don’t think so either,” said independent voter Raquel Groden, who laughed.
Macias continued. “So for me right now, it’s just another talking point. Every time I hear it, I ignore it.”
“I know,” Groden added.
Cutting even further to the point, Macias said, “This is something that, you know, some focus group came up with, and now they’re just using it to the hilt.”
Groden accused the media and the Democratic Party of not even understanding the meaning of democracy. She said, “When they say things like that, I don’t think they really understand what democracy is. You know, the fact that there’s voting is democracy.”

At the beginning of the segment, Jiang asked Latino voters whether they thought Biden had done enough to maintain support from the Latino community during his term.
Macias declared, “I think his Latino immigration numbers will go down,” while Growden slammed Vice President Harris’ record as border czar.
“He put his vice president in charge of the Border Czar. So what happened? She just disappeared. So does he really care about that?” she asked.
Former President Trump has made the biggest inroads with Latino voters since the 2020 election, when Biden won by more than 20 points among Latino voters, according to a new poll.
Trump currently leads, with 46% of Hispanics saying they will vote for Biden, compared to 40% who say they will vote for Trump.
