The coveted Latino vote.
The political class has been awash in speculation and analysis about how Latinos will vote this cycle, with the potential to decide whether incumbent President Joe Biden or former president Donald Trump win a second term.
Veteran politics reporter Adrian Carrasquillo has built a career covering Latino attitudes and concerns over the past decade. He joined 24sight’s Warren Rojas and Tom LoBianco for the latest episode of the 24sight Pod.
One of the latest twists, which Carrasquillo wrote about for Politico Magazine, is Democratic scion turned presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. peeling away Latino support from Biden in the battleground states of Arizona and Nevada.
