Hey, Big Spender | The Latino Vote Podcast Episode 43

The Latino Vote

In this episode, Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid scrutinize recent heavy spending across the country from Rep. David Trone's heavily financed yet unsuccessful Senate campaign in Maryland to the GOP's Congressional Leadership Fund exorbitant advertising spending in California's Central Valley, particularly within Latino communities.
Our hosts segue to the recent primary elections, focusing on Oregon's 5th Congressional District, where Latina Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer faces a new challenge from State Senator Laurie Bynum, a Black Democrat. The race, emblematic of evolving racial and economic dynamics in American suburbs, raises questions about how diverse voter blocs will align in future elections.
The conversation also touches on the broader implications of Trump's upcoming verdict, with an analysis on whether an acquittal or conviction would help or hurt his 2024 campaign. They highlight how Biden faces a "polling problem" that doesn't show up on Election Day, while Trump struggles with an "election day problem" not reflected in polling.
