Hollywood on the Potomac: A-list turns out for Biden-Harris
Read full article: Hollywood on the Potomac: A-list turns out for Biden-HarrisA full-throated, supremely confident Lady Gaga belted out the national anthem at President Joe Biden's inauguration in a very Gaga way — with flamboyance, fashion and passion. While stars mostly eschewed Trump's inauguration four years ago, the A-list was back for Biden. Brooks was careful to call his decision to perform on Wednesday non-political, and in the spirit of unity. He had performed during the inaugural celebration for Obama in 2009, but turned down a chance to perform for Trump in 2017, citing a scheduling conflict.

Latino voters in Florida surged by almost half a million in 2020
Read full article: Latino voters in Florida surged by almost half a million in 2020Latinos were decisive this election, making up 17% of the registered voters in Florida, according to the president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition Rev. “The Hispanic vote was very critical, and so we increased 476,000 voters from 2016 to 2020 almost half a million voters,” said Salguero. “If we keep growing at that rate, we could easily be over 3 million at the next presidential election,” said Salguero. “I think that the Hispanic community also was a trend in terms of new registered voters and first-time voters coming out,” said Frankie Miranda, president of the Hispanic Federation. The Latino vote had a big impact on the results in Florida and across the country.

Latino voters turned out in record numbers for presidential election
Read full article: Latino voters turned out in record numbers for presidential electionThe president of the Hispanic Federation, Frankie Miranda, said Latino voter turnout shattered the numbers from the 2016 general election with just the early voting numbers alone. Miranda said he flew down from the nonprofit organization’s headquarters in New York to visit their office in Central Florida. Miranda said in looking at the numbers prior to Election Day, from early voting alone this election, 1.4 million Latinos have voted. He said when you compare that number to the 1.2 million Latinos total that voted in the 2016 general election, you can see the enthusiasm among Latino voters. He said many of the Latino early voters, about 400,000, were first-time voters.
