Editor’s note: See our results page for details of the vote.
DONALD TRUMP began his campaign to become America’s president in 2015 by calling Mexicans rapists and drug traffickers. When families crossed America’s southern border, his immigration police separated children from their parents. Before the 2018 midterm elections he tried to scare voters with the prospect of caravans of migrants heading for America. His failure to control covid-19 has caused disproportionate harm to Latino Americans, who are far likelier than whites to be sickened, hospitalised and to die from the virus.
