Special Guest: Noah Lenard

Noah Lenard, lead immigration reporter for Mother Jones Magazine, joins us to discuss the shifting politics of Latino voters in Los Angeles. With a recent presidential election showing a 40% shift towards Trump in Southeast Los Angeles, Lenard explores the complexities of this phenomenon and what it means for the future of the Democratic Party.

Key Takeaways

  • Working-class Latino voters in Southeast Los Angeles are increasingly drawn to the GOP, despite Trump's inflammatory rhetoric.

  • Affluent, educated voters in Los Angeles are sticking with the Democrats, while working-class Asian and Latino voters are shifting to the GOP.

  • The economy and job security are key factors in this shift, with voters hoping Trump will bring back the economy of four years ago.

  • There is a growing awareness among voters of the complexities of immigration policy and the need for a more nuanced approach.
