Univision is broadcasting presidential city halls with each former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, to be moderated by Enrique Acevedo. An English-language feed can be made out there on YouTube, nevertheless, we imagine an occasion of this magnitude must be made out there over the air, and accessible to as many viewers as attainable.
Per the TelevisaUnivision press launch:
The particular “Los Latinos Preguntan … Donald Trump Responde” (Latinos Ask…Donald Trump Solutions) will air on Tuesday, Oct 8, at 10 p.m. ET from Miami, Fla. “Los Latinos Preguntan … Kamala Harris Responde” (Latinos Ask…Kamala Harris Solutions) will air on Thursday, Oct 10, at 10 p.m. ET from Las Vegas, Nev. Each occasions will air coast-to-coast with Spanish-language translation on Univision and stream on ViX’s Noticias 24/7 channel and also will be out there in English on Noticias Univision’s YouTube channel.
With one month to go till the U.S. presidential election, journalist Enrique Acevedo will average each city halls, that includes undecided Hispanic voters who will take the microphone to ask questions of every candidate. Former President Trump and Vice President Harris will handle key points which are on the highest of voters’ minds, together with the financial system, jobs, healthcare, immigration and overseas coverage. The occasions will put an citizens that represents shut to fifteen% of the voting bloc entrance and heart, making a discussion board completely for Latinos.
The discussion board is likely to be marketed by Univision as “completely for Latinos”, however will undoubtedly draw the eyes of the whole nation. That is particularly so, given the truth that no extra presidential debates have been agreed upon.
Moreover, Vice President Kamala Harris has been largely unavailable to the press in prolonged unscripted boards. The city corridor will place her in entrance of voters with direct questions, one thing the nation hasn’t seen since 2019.
Fairly than limiting the English-language feed to Univision’s YouTube channel, the community ought to do what it did with the English-language variations of the respective interviews with Trump and with President Joe Biden. Every of those aired on sister community UniMás, which is extensively accessible each by way of paid providers and over the air.
The citizens at massive benefitted from the flexibility to observe these interviews and would equally profit from watching these candidates within the unscripted surroundings {that a} city corridor represents. Univision is able to expose broad swaths of the voting American public to those candidates on this surroundings. In service of the general public curiosity, I name upon the community to broadcast its unique English-language feeds on UniMás.
