In a Univision Noticias town hall event titled "Latinos Ask... Kamala Harris Responds," Vice President Kamala Harris engaged with undecided Latino voters, including those with inclinations towards former President Donald Trump. The event, moderated by news anchor Enrique Acevedo, saw a notable interaction where Harris addressed a query from a Trump-leaning voter.

During the town hall, a voter named Mario Sigbaum, who expressed his inclination towards Trump, sought clarification from Harris on her journey to the candidacy. Responding to the question, Harris emphasized her pride in earning the nomination and used the opportunity to launch a pointed criticism of Donald Trump. She took several minutes to discuss issues concerning democracy and pointed out why some former Trump supporters have shifted their allegiance to her.

Harris specifically mentioned the events of January 6th, suggesting it was a pivotal moment for many Americans. "I think, frankly, sir, that is why some former Trump supporters are supporting me. I think January 6th, for a lot of people, was just a bridge too far," she stated, highlighting the gravity of the day in swaying public opinion. This exchange was a significant part of her broader strategy to court undecided voters through various media appearances, including interviews on shows like 60 Minutes, The View, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The Univision event was part of Harris's concerted effort to reach out to the Latino community and address their concerns directly, amid a media blitz designed to bolster her visibility and support.
