Danny Bernal was born in Bolivia, raised in Miami and now lives in Los Angeles. He is registered as a Republican but says he's more independent because he swings back and forth on issues. His mother immigrated from Bolivia and she moved to Miami,. A place that's sort of overwhelmingly populated by people who fled socialist communist regimes.
Latino voters have never seemed more electorally important than in the coming midterm elections: the first real referendum on the Biden era of government.
Latinos make up 20 percent of registered voters in two crucial Senate races — Arizona and Nevada — and as much or more in over a dozen competitive House races.

Guest: Jennifer Medina, a national politics reporter for The New York Times.
