Trump Hits UFC Fights in Quest for New Voters

“Cell phones out to capture the moment, the crowd roared as Donald Trump made his entrance, bumping fists with supporters. But it wasn’t a campaign rally packed with his loyal voters. The former president was at a UFC fight in Miami — a city he lost in the 2020 election to Joe Biden — with Black and Hispanic fans ringing the stage,” Bloomberg reports.

“The warm welcome is one reason why his campaign sees an opportunity for Trump to reach beyond his usual base of largely White male backers to more diverse voters who may well help decide the outcome of the general election in November. But with some groups of undecided voters turned off by his incendiary rhetoric on women, immigrants and democracy, Trump has to rely on others to carry his message there, according to strategists.”
