Summary

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Their politics are opposites —
Could their love be true?

This episode: political correspondent Sarah McCammon, political reporter Elena Moore, and voting correspondent Miles Parks.

This podcast was produced by Bria Suggs and edited by Casey Morell. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
