2020 Democratic hopefuls Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer both couldn't name the president of Mexico when asked during a Telemundo interview while campaigning in Nevada this week
"I forget," Steyer said when asked. Klobuchar offered a simple"no" in response. Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg was the only one of the three candidates interviewed to correctly name President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. "Yeah, President López Obrador, I hope," Buttigieg responded with a smile. López Obrador was sworn in as president of Mexico in December 2018.
A notable concentration of Latino voters in the state are in Clark County, which is home to Las Vegas. And with powerful labor groups like the Culinary Union and a political machine built by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the state remains a valuable primary prize. The Culinary Union said this week it would not endorse any candidate before the February 22 caucus.
