Episode description
Latino voters have never seemed more electorally important than in the coming midterm elections: the first real referendum on the Biden era of government.
Latinos make up 20 percent of registered voters in two crucial Senate races — Arizona and Nevada — and as much or more in over a dozen competitive House races.
In the past 10 years, the conventional wisdom about Latino voters has been uprooted. We explore a poll, conducted by The Times, to better understand how they view the parties vying for their vote.
Guest: Jennifer Medina, a national politics reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
