The stars in their courses just might be aligning for a Donald Trump victory in 2024 — just as they did in 2016. And the most recent evidence of that is Univision appearing to change its tune toward the former president.
The top-rated Spanish speaking television network is under new management and has taken a much more favorable view of Trump than it did during 2020.
The Mexican media company Grupo Televisa merged with Univision in 2022 to create TelevisaUnivision, Variety reported.
In a Tuesday article, The Washington Post noted — with a clear subtext of distress — the rapprochement between Trump and Univision.
“When Donald Trump ran for re-election in 2020, his campaign called Univision, the nation’s most influential Spanish-language network, ‘a leftist propaganda machine and a mouthpiece of the Democrat Party,'” the Post recounted.
“Three years later, Trump is treating Univision and its new corporate owners like long-lost friends. He hosted a trio of its executives at Mar-a-Lago last week during an hour-long Univision interview that was notable for its gracious tone, starting with a question about how well he is doing among Latino voters in early general election polling,” the news outlet added.
“Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, a friend of one of the executives, helped arrange the interview and was also in the room, according to multiple people familiar with the event,” the Post said.
