Why does top Latino group's ad campaign say, "Abbott Abandoned us?

Mi Familia Vota, a top Latino rights group that promotes more Latino voters' participation, is launching a critical ad campaign on Friday. This ad campaign is against Texas Governor Greg Abbott, according to reports.

The Latino ad campaign is timed with an important gubernatorial debate between Abbott and Beto O'Rourke.

The Latino ad campaign-

• This ad campaign will be run multiple times on Friday on cable news in Austin and Rio Grande Valley.
• The tagline of this Latino voting right campaign is "Abbott nos abnadonó," which translates into Abbott abandoned us.
• The ad campaign will cover numerous issues and likely reflect O'Rourke's Friday debate.
• It will be a very do-or-die moment for O'Rourke, trailing Abbott by at least 8 points.
• The ad will focus on the disagreements in Texas under Abbott's watch.

Example- the mass shooting in Uvalde and El Paso.

The motive behind the ad campaign

• The activists' rights group wishes to discuss how Abbott tried to minimise the overt Anti-Mexican during the El Paso shooting.
• The shooting resulted in 23 people losing their lives and over 20 others injured in the local Walmart.
• The ad's narrator says how Abbott abandoned the Latinos by saying the shooter of the El Paso incident was mentally ill, without any racist agenda.
• Abbott even angered more people by shifting attention toward mental health issues without mentioning the mass shooting.
