At home with first-time Democrat voters in Philadelphia
What matters to them in the crucial state of Pennsylvania?
The 2024 presidential election could hinge on the state of Pennsylvania, with polls currently indicating that the crucial swing state is locked in a dead heat.
On the next stage of our pop-up podcast studio, Justin and Marianna travel to Philadelphia to speak to three first-time Democratic voters who are planning to vote for Kamala Harris.
Sitting down in a family home, we chat to them about their reaction to Joe Bidenβs intervention in the campaign, whether theyβd consider voting for a third-party in the campaign and what they believe Harris needs to do between now and November 5th.
