Summary

Bellwether and swing states are often the battlegrounds upon which the US presidential race is won. Historically, Ohio has been one of the most important - but that is changing. So which states matter the most for the upcoming 2024 election? And how will Trump or Biden (or anyone else) win them over? Kyle Kondik is the Author of ‘The Bellwether: Why Ohio Picks the president”. He joins Alex Andreou in The Bunker. “We’re seeing a shift in the key states in the electoral college, partially due to Trump.” - Kyle Kondik. “Both Trump and Biden have over 50% unfavorability, these voters tend to skew to the right but were not a fan of what happened on January 6th. These voters are likely to decide the next election” - Kyle Kondik. “Both Biden and Trump’s ability to tell a story defines the ground they are battling over” - Alex Andreou. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Book Link: https://www.ohioswallow.com/book/The+Bellwether Written and presented by Alex Andreou.
