Summary

A tight governor's race in Oregon leaves many wondering if independent candidate Betsy Johnson could lead the state to elect a Republican governor for the first time in forty years. Politics and Government Reporter for Oregon Public Broadcasting Dirk VanderHart joins to break down the rise of Betsy Johnson as a candidate, how Republican candidate Christine Drazan has found herself in a favorable position to win the governorship and the issues that influence Oregonians' vote. Between the last presidential election and recent midterm polling data, Republicans believe they're gaining momentum among Latino voters. RNC Communications Director Danielle Alvarez explains how issues regarding the economy, crime, and abortion resonate among conservative Latino voters. She also discusses efforts the party has made to better minority outreach, and the potential for the Hispanic vote to shift key races in Republicans' favor. Learn more about your ad choices.
