Spanish is the second most common language in the United States and many candidates on the debate stage seemed aware of that.
O'Rourke used his introductory turn to speak Spanish, a clear pitch to the bilingual Latinxs who were tuning in to the debate. He said that the American democracy should"listen to all voices." He didn't answer the question he was asked about whether he supports a 70% marginal tax rate in either language, however.
Notably, Castro, the only Latino in the crop of presidential hopefuls, saved his Spanish for his closing statement."I am Julián Castro and I'm running for president of the United States," he said. Booker also used the question about immigration to address Spanish-speaking voters directly."The situation today is unacceptable," he said, in reference to thewho are being detained at the Southern border."The president has attacked and demonized immigrants."
