It’s like déjà vu all over again! The stars may just be aligning for another historic Donald Trump victory in 2024, just as they did back in 2016. And the latest evidence of this cosmic convergence? Well, hold onto your hats, folks, because it’s none other than Univision, the top-rated Spanish-speaking television network, seemingly singing a different tune when it comes to the former president.

This twist in the tale comes hot on the heels of Mexican media giant Grupo Televisa’s merger with Univision to form TelevisaUnivision, as reported by Variety. The Washington Post couldn’t help but let their distress show through as they noted the apparent reconciliation between Trump and Univision. It’s like a telenovela plot unfolding right before our eyes!
Flashback to 2020, and Trump’s campaign was calling Univision a “leftist propaganda machine and a mouthpiece of the Democrat Party.” But fast forward to now, and the network is cozying up to Trump like long-lost friends. Trump even hosted Univision executives at Mar-a-Lago for an hour-long interview that was marked by its unusually cordial tone. Talk about a plot twist!
But wait, it gets juicier! Turns out, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had a hand in setting up this heartwarming reunion, with reports indicating that he’s chummy with one of the Univision bigwigs. It’s like a real-life reality show, folks!
During the interview, Univision journalist Enrique Acevedo pointed out Trump’s rising poll numbers among Latino voters, citing a recent New York Times/Siena College poll that showed Trump trailing President Joe Biden among Hispanics by single digits: 50 to 42 percent. Who would’ve thought we’d see the day when Trump was popular among Hispanics?
Trump, never one to miss a chance to shine, waxed lyrical about the incredible skills and entrepreneurial spirit of Latino voters, and even managed to tie it all back to the owners of Univision, praising them as “unbelievable entrepreneurial people.”
Now, hold onto your sombreros, because here’s the real kicker: Univision ran the Trump interview during its most popular 10 p.m. hour and didn’t allow the Biden campaign to run commercials during the broadcast. Talk about a power move! And get this, folks – they’ve declared that the same policy will apply if Biden agrees to an interview with the network. The drama just keeps ramping up!
But that’s not all, folks. The Latino swing toward Trump isn’t the only thing working in his favor. The independent runs of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West, along with Green Party candidate Jill Stein entering the race, are set to siphon votes from Biden – making the 2024 election an even wilder ride. And just when you thought the plot couldn’t thicken any further, the Democrats have gone and slapped Trump with a whopping 91 felony charges! It’s like they’re trying to turn him into a sympathetic figure for many.
With Univision singing Trump’s praises, and the Democrats seemingly playing right into his hands, the stage is set for another epic showdown in 2024. So, grab your popcorn, folks, because this political drama is only just getting started!
