Why is Kamala Harris struggling with minority voters?

  • Summary

  • The old wisdom held that Democrats could rely on the votes of those in the Black and Latino communities - often immigrant families that felt that party were on their side. But in recent elections that has started to shift. Kamala Harris is struggling to win the Black vote at the same levels Joe Biden won it in 2020, which pushed him over the line. And her latest pitch is an economic plan specifically tailored to Black men. Is this smart or reductive? And can Trump capitalise on that gap? We’re joined by Luis Sanchez, who’s on the ground in Wisconsin.

    Later, what are the polls telling us now and how much should we trust them? We're with Kyle Kondik of Sabato's Crystal Ball - the electoral gurus who break down the numbers.
