Univision, one of the leading Spanish-language media networks in the United States, is facing backlash after giving Donald Trump preferential treatment in a recent interview. The network canceled Joe Biden's campaign ads that were scheduled to run during the interview in key states and also canceled an interview with the Biden team's Hispanic media director. Following the discussion, Univision's top anchor left the network, raising concerns about these changes' impact on the crucial Latina vote.

Canceling Biden's campaign ads in states like Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Florida is significant because the Hispanic vote is crucial for success in the upcoming elections. Univision claimed that they had an interview with Joe Biden that they would not air Trump's campaign ads, but it was later revealed that they only reached out to Biden after the Trump interview had already taken place. This raises questions about Univision's shift in behavior and its relationship with Trump.

One of the main criticisms of Univision's interview with Trump was the interviewer's lack of real-time fact-checking and pushback. This highlights the need for Democrats to have a strong Spanish-language strategy on all platforms, including traditional television as well as social media platforms like WhatsApp and TikTok. Democrats must coordinate efforts to address misinformation and disinformation and ensure that accurate information is disseminated to the Latino community.
