Ex-Hillary Clinton strategist says Trump and GOP have made 'significant inroads' with Hispanic vote

Ex-Hillary Clinton strategist Mike Penn said that the GOP and former President Donald Trump have made some headway with the Hispanic vote amid the upcoming election. 

"The Latino vote is showing ... I think there was only a seven point gap between the two candidates, even though there was close to a 50 point gap with the black vote, and so I think Republicans and Trump have made potentially significant inroads there," Penn said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. 

He explained that if the GOP could get gains with the Hispanic vote in swing states like Nevada and Arizona, it could make a big difference.

Penn explained that voters had interesting views on Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. 

"Trump wins on the major issues [like the] economy, immigration and crime, and she wins on on a number of other issues, notably abortion and climate change," he said.

Penn said that Harris is viewed as someone who will bring change while Trump is seen as someone who can get things done.
