Nava, who immigrated to the U.S. at age seven, has been an advocate for undocumented youth and was the first DACA recipient to receive a White House political appointment.

"Univision's Ilia Calderón to Co-Moderate Second GOP Debate with Fox Business"

Univision anchor Ilia Calderón will join Fox Business and Fox News anchors as a moderator for the second Republican presidential debate, becoming the only Hispanic person on stage among both moderators and candidates. The debate will be held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, with a Spanish-language version airing on Univision. Six candidates, including former President Donald Trump, have qualified for the debate, but his participation remains uncertain.

"Growing Momentum for Debbie Mucarsel-Powell to Challenge Rick Scott"

There is a growing push from Democratic-aligned groups for former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell to challenge Republican incumbent Sen. Rick Scott in the Florida Senate race. Latino Democrats, including those connected to groups such as BOLD PAC, have expressed their support for Mucarsel-Powell, seeing her as a strong candidate in a state with a significant Hispanic population. Mucarsel-Powell is still considering whether to run, but the outpouring of support may influence her decision. If she decides to run, she would be the first Hispanic woman nominated by Florida Democrats for a statewide position. The race is seen as pivotal for Democratic efforts to maintain control of the Senate.
