Summary

There are fewer white people without college degrees, more Latino potential voters in key states and a rise in Asian American voters in Nevada. We have a detailed conversation about what that could mean as presidential election voting gets underway this week.

This episode: national political correspondent Sarah McCammon, voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
