I\u2019m a pragmatic capitalist.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump, meanwhile, described Harris as \u201clazy,\u201d railed against green energy and talked about \u201cextreme\u201d presidential power during remarks at his golf club in Doral, a Miami suburb. <\/p>\n<p>Insisting President Joe Biden did not need congressional approval to curb illegal immigration, he said: \u201cAs president, you have tremendous \u2014 it\u2019s called extreme power. You have extreme power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also continued to hammer Harris as \u201clow IQ\u201d and <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-kamala-lazy-trope-stereotype-4c2ded1046e492c5d24c7382245d0f7b\">invoked a racist trope,<\/a><\/span> calling her \u201clazy as hell\u201d for not holding any public events Tuesday.

Trump believes he\u2019s made inroads among Latino men. Harris\u2019 team is seeking to shore up support within the same group with the <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/election-2024\">election just two weeks away<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The effort sets up a question of whether memories of a Trump presidency or the promise of new policies under Harris will do more to energize Latino voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe are very confident that these policies resonate because we\u2019ve seen them resonate in speeches and focus groups,\u201d said Matt Barreto, a Harris campaign pollster. \u201cIt speaks to Latino men in particular about being successful and achieving the American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, AP VoteCast found that 9% of voters nationwide identified as Latino, and 63% of them backed Biden in the election. That race was defined broadly by the pandemic that shut down much of the country, whereas this year\u2019s race has issues such as the economy, immigration, abortion rights and democracy at the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>Harris said she would work to double the number of registered apprenticeships. She is stressing how she would remove college degree requirements for certain federal government jobs and encourage private employers to do likewise. Harris also wants to provide forgivable loans worth up to $20,000 each to 1 million small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>During Trump\u2019s event, he sat after his opening remarks as elected officials and business leaders who are Latino praised the economy during his administration, thanking him specifically for tax cuts he signed in 2017.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

Guillermo Maldonado, senior pastor of King Jesus International Ministry, said during the prayer that \u201cthere\u2019s a higher assignment for him to finish with this nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a rally later in North Carolina, Trump, who has been laying the groundwork to challenge the election results if he loses, again commented on Harris not holding any public events Tuesday. He offered this cryptic take: \u201cI think she knows some kind of result that we don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to a rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday, he said, \u201cWe want to close it out with beautiful bang,\u201d noting there was more campaigning to come. <\/p>\n<p>Both campaigns were jockeying for an edge with the increasingly diverse electorate in the closing weeks of the campaign.

Doubling that figure, as Harris has proposed, would put the total number of apprenticeships at roughly 1.2 million over four years.<\/p>\n<p>Latino men also expressed a need for access to capital and credit to start companies, as the Treasury Department reported on Oct. 10 that Latino business ownership is up 40% over pre-pandemic levels and could keep climbing with better financing options.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019 running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will be on Univision\u2019s \u201cEl Bueno, La Mala, y El Feo,\u201d a syndicated radio show, this week, while Harris\u2019 husband, Doug Emhoff, will be interviewed this week by Univision\u2019s nationally syndicated afternoon radio program \u201cEl Free-Guey Show.\u201d Emhoff will also be interviewed by Alex \u201cEl Genio\u201d Lucas on Nueva Network Radio.<\/p>\n<p>Trump hopes to convince Latinos that they can trust a fellow businessman such as himself, even as he\u2019s also called for the mass deportation of immigrants in the country illegally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHispanic people \u2014 they say you can\u2019t generalize, but I think you can \u2014 they have wonderful entrepreneurship and they have \u2014 oh, do you have such energy.
