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.

    Two party system is too vague and horrific. Will never vote for anyone in either party.

    I might just be a drop in the pond, but I’ll vote independent for the rest of my life.

      That’s the way, I usually vote independent.

      This time, though, Biden is doing everything I was looking for from the green party so yeah, I’m good this round.

      Do you have a single issue that you’re voting on , or is it just independent on principle regardless of the issues?

        It’s never just a single issue, it’s a broad scope of ideas from outdated people. We keep consistently voting for people in their 70s who should retire. They don’t know what’s best for the future because they won’t have to live with the consequences of their actions.

        For the executive office at least,

        For congress, both parties taking huge swaths of lobbying money and corruption by huge corporations.

        Lobbying should be illegal and we need an age and term limit.

          I’ve spoken to a few single issue voters.

          They might identify with the conservatives as a group, but they are definitely voting Republican for a single issue.

          One lady was abortion, and three off the top of my head were guns.

          I wholeheartedly agree and have been ranting about lobbying and term limits for ppfffff I literally don’t even know how long now.

          Lobbying is absolutely insanity.

          Term limits, age limits, like you can kind of see why those bad decisions had been made in the first place and need to be rectified, but lobbying is just insanity.

          A lot of advertising in the states is crazy.

          Like did you know that there’s only two countries in the world that can advertise prescription medicine, and one of them is the United States?

          The other is strangely New Zealand.

          Marketing medicine is bonkers, like absolutely bonkers.
