Arizona… and the battle for the Latino vote

Can Kamala Harris or Donald Trump win without Latino voters?

Latinos are the second-largest group of eligible voters in the US, making their influence in the presidential election potentially pivotal.

Sarah is investigating their sway in Arizona - a state that could help decide the outcome of the race. Which party benefits the most from winning The Grand Canyon State? And is Donald Trump or Kamala Harris making more in-roads with Latino voters?

Americast brings in Mike Madrid, a veteran Latino pollster and strategist. What are demographic trends telling us about how Latinos will vote, and do Democrats need to shift their messaging to connect with this key voting bloc?
