In a state where elections can be close, Wisconsin Latinos learn their political power

MILWAUKEE - Jennifer Nuno voted for President Biden because she thought he'd bring more decency back to the White House.

It hasn't turned out the way the Latino mother of two hoped.

Speaking over the TVs turned to a Spanish-language telenovela, Nuno volunteered why she was unhappy with the president as her 11-year-old got a back-to-school haircut.

The 30-year-old esthetician sits on a set of benches alongside other parents at this hair salon in Lincoln Village, a Milwaukee neighborhood where it's about as common to be greeted in Spanish as it is in English.

She appreciates Biden's work on student loans but says she questions what practical differences he's made here - for the larger Latino community in Milwaukee.
