Obama is back in Florida , a Hispanic election turnout

President Obama, with his lectern set in the middle of baseball stadium, made a history for Hillary Clinton on Sunday in an election that he has thrown a contest over the country's identity and values.

Obama told of the election ,“It is about the character of this country. Who are we? What do we stand for?”

This was Obama’s second trip to Florida, in lst 4 days where mobilizing the Hispanic vote has been seen as crucial to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to win the state.

Florida has seen a big increase so far in early voting compared to 2012, and early indications has been that Hispanics, noted by Republican nominee Trump's anti-immigration rhetorics and calls for a wall on the southern U.S. border, have been coming out in big numbers.

The urge of Latino voters in, a state that Trump probably should win if he will go to take the White House.

On Sunday, Obama said, “If we win Florida, it is a wrap. If we win Florida, it is over.”

Obama had been speaking on friendly ground in Osceola and Orange counties, that encompassed the Orlando and Kissimmee areas. The president won both counties in 2012 with significant help from both the black and Hispanic voters, the two constituencies that the president had been aiming to mobilize on Sunday.
