In This Episode
Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha (Latino Vote Podcast) joins Jamal Simmons and Matthew Butler for a midterm gut-check: why working-class Latino voters who backed Trump are swinging back to Democrats, what’s fueling the anger behind ICE raids and broken economic promises, and whether Trump’s $5,000 “tariff dividend” is real. Then the crew turns to 2028 — Gavin Newsom’s fly-fishing-creek interview with Jake Tapper, the decades-long Newsom-Harris relationship, why the VP slot may need to be Latino, and why 20 presidential campaigns quietly staffing up right now could reshape the next generation of Democratic operatives.
