'Work like the devil': Joe Biden visiting Florida to woo Latinos
Joe Biden is making his first trip to Florida as the Democratic presidential nominee, while his campaign is acknowledging concerns about his appeal with Latinos, a voting bloc likely to prove pivotal against President Donald Trump in one of the nations fiercest battleground states.
