Biden Looks to Tackle 3 Big Weaknesses as He Courts Latinos in Nevada

President Biden hopes to sell his economic and immigration policies to Latino voters in the crucial battleground state of Nevada on Wednesday as he tries to re-energize his campaign after three weeks of instability in the presidential race.

Mr. Biden is set to speak at the annual conference for UnidosUS, a Latino civil rights and advocacy organization, before making brief remarks and greeting supporters at a campaign event. He will also participate in an interview with Univision on Wednesday, the second day of a two-day swing through Nevada.

Mr. Biden will seek to change the narratives on what polls have shown to be three of his biggest weaknesses for much of his presidency: immigration, the economy and slipping support among Latinos.

Mr. Biden is expected to discuss his order to expand legal protections for undocumented spouses of American citizens, a measure that could shield 500,000 people from deportation and give them a pathway to citizenship and the ability to work legally in the United States. He announced that order last month, as well as an executive order suspending asylum for most migrants at the border, in an attempt to strike a balance on an issue that has been a major political vulnerability.

The president has faced pressure on immigration from members of his own party and from Hispanic voters in general, many of whom want to see both tougher enforcement and better pathways to citizenship.

Pressure for Mr. Biden to make up ground anywhere he can is acute after the past three weeks, in which he has faced drooping polls and calls to end his campaign after a disastrous debate performance. The attempted assassination on Saturday of his main rival, former President Donald J. Trump, has further complicated the race.
