WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is embarking on a three-day campaign swing aimed at shoring up his standing in the Sun Belt as part of an aggressive play to re-energize vital parts of his 2020 electoral coalition. Much of his time on this trip this week, which includes stops in Nevada, Arizona and Texas, will be geared toward courting the Latino voters who helped power his coalition in 2020 and to emphasizing his pro-union, pro-abortion rights message. The campaign’s focus on the Latino community in Nevada and Arizona this week is also part of the campaign’s broader efforts to put in place the infrastructure to re-engage various constituencies key to Biden’s reelection.
