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.

    Not saying I get it, but most undecided voters I know are undecided between voting for Biden and not voting. They don’t seem to care about the implications of a Trump presidency, and nothing can get through to them. They just don’t want to vote for Biden.

    Obligatory, I’m holding my nose in November

      i didn’t want to vote for Biden in 2020, either, so i voted Green.

      i was in NY at the time, so my vote didn’t matter, but now that i’m a in red/swing state, I’m def voting Biden just to cut across that Trump edge.

      Agreed.

      ‘undecided’ = “unsure if I give a fuck enough to go vote for my side”

      This seems to have been true for awhile now. The two parties are so different, it’s hard to imagine anyone bouncing between the two as if they were close enough to compare.

      Which is honestly why I find a lot of the democratic campaigning and rhetoric weird. It seems to still be trying to cater to a group I don’t think exists, instead of trying to excite their existing voter base enough into actually voting.
