Trump Jr., UFC star launch anti-socialism bus tour through South Florida

Donald Trump Jr. and UFC star Jorge Masvidal will take a campaign bus across South Florida as part of a “Fighters Against Socialism” tour aimed at turning out Hispanics in Florida for President Trump.

The tour, which kicks off Sunday at the Tampa Convention Center, will also make stops in Orlando and Coconut Creek, and ends in Miami, where they’ll be joined by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).

Masvidal is from Miami and is popular among Cubans in Florida. Cubans have been the predominate force in GOP politics in Florida for decades.

Polls show Biden leading big nationally among Hispanics nationwide. But in Florida, the right-leaning Cuban voters have Trump and Biden running close in polls of Hispanic voters.

The bus tour is part of the Trump campaign’s “Operation MAGA,” which is filling in for Trump on the campaign trail while he’s been sidelined by the coronavirus.
