Will Hispanic voters hand Donald Trump the presidency?

Our weekly podcast on democracy in America. This week, we consider Joe Biden’s fortunes with Latinos

In the run-up to November we’ll be checking in on the voters who will decide the presidential election. Hispanics are the largest and fastest-growing of America’s ethnic minorities which, given most vote Democratic, should help Joe Biden. But Donald Trump is gaining ground. Could Latino voters hand Trump the presidency?


John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon. They’re joined by The Economist’s Daniella Raz, Arturo Vargas from NALEO and Republican political consultant Mike Madrid.
