Donald Trump's team hijacks Joe Biden's bid to rally Hispanic voters after buying 'Todos Con Biden' website domain name

Donald Trumps' team has hijacked his rival Joe Biden's bid to rally Hispanic voters by buying the campaign's website domain name.

On Wednesday, the Democratic frontrunner's election team announced its "Todos Con Biden" campaign ("everyone with Biden") on Twitter in a push for support in the 2020 presidential elections.

But the Trump camp immediately bought the website domain name todosconbiden.com.

The site shows a picture of Mr Biden looking downtrodden with the Spanish and English captions: "Oops, Joe forgot about Latinos" and "Joe is all talk."

A link beneath redirects views to the "Latinos for Trump" website instead.

In response, the Biden campaign issued a statement saying: "It is no surprise that Trump's campaign would resort to childish antics like this to take attention away from this president's appalling record of separating families and using immigrants as scapegoats."

The former vice-president is one of 15 Democrats seeking the party's nomination for 2020.

Meanwhile, a record number of Latinos are expected to vote in the election next year
