Earlier this week, the Kamala Harris campaign began what was described as its “largest effort yet” to reach one of the most crucial voting blocs in the 2024 election: Latinos.

The push couldn’t come soon enough. More Latinos are eligible to vote than ever before in US history. They have the potential to play a decisive role in just about every key swing state in the presidential race. And, as the last few elections have shown, Democrats cannot afford to take their votes for granted.

So on this episode of See How They Run, we’re joined by Bill Gallegos and Jack Herrera. Gallegos is a longtime Chicano activist, political organizer, and a member of the Nation editorial board. Herrera is a reporter who has covered Latino politics and immigration for just about every major outlet you can think of—including The Nation.
