Jorge Ramos, the influential host of Univision's Noticiero Univision, said the Latino vote will decide the 2016 presidential election and that Hispanics could see a reward for providing the margin of victory.
In an interview with Harvard University's Institute of Politics following a speech to students, Ramos predicted that about 16 million Hispanics will go to the polls, likely to vote Democratic based on past trends.
He said that there is a "new rule" in politics winning the White House can't be done without Hispanics."
And since he believes Latinos will supply the winner with a victory, "for the first time, we could get something in return for our vote," said Ramos.
