Latino Voters for Biden on Horseback in Nevada Go Viral: 'This Is My America'

Videos posted across social media showing Latino voters on horseback in Nevada, showing their support for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, went viral over the weekend.

Several photos and videos were posted to Twitter by Biden's Nevada press secretary Adrian Eng-Gastelum.

In one of Eng-Gastelum's videos, re-posted by Twitter user Rex Chapman, hundreds of Latino voters can be seen riding horses through the streets holding flags in support of Biden and his running mate, California Senator Kamala Harris.

"Nevada: Biden voters. Latinos. On horseback. In style. This is my America…" Chapman wrote as a caption to the video.

In this video, following behind the group in horseback another Latino supporter is seen riding in his pick-up truck with several Biden flags flying in the back.

"Biden baby! Come out and vote. Make sure your voice must be heard so come out and vote for Biden, baby," the man in the pickup truck says to the camera. "Let's make it happen."

Hundreds of others supporters, who decided to steer away from riding on a horse, are seen following behind in their cars, beeping and yelling to show their support for the former vice president.

In another video posted to Twitter by Eng-Gastelum, the supporters on horseback can be seen again as well as others in cars following behind.

"Nevada Latinos for Biden Cabalgata to the polls! Vote early, vote for your community, vote Biden-Harris," Eng-Gastelum wrote as a caption.
