House Republicans are looking to reach out to Hispanic voters via a new Spanish-language Twitter feed that debuted Monday afternoon.

The feed is the latest in an attempt by Republicans to woo Hispanic voters after 71 percent broke for President Obama in the last election. That figure, coupled with changing national demographics, has many in the party concerned that the GOP could struggle to remain viable without winning back a larger share of Hispanic voters.
Republicans also tapped Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), the son of Cuban immigrants, to give the rebuttal to the president's State of the Union address on Tuesday night. The Florida lawmaker plans to tape a Spanish-language version of his remarks to appear on networks like Telemundo and Univision.
