Episode notes

In just two weeks, US voters will head to the polls for midterm elections. Democrats hold thin majorities in both houses of Congress. Republicans are working hard to regain control by appealing to Hispanic voters. Hispanics are the second largest and fastest growing demographic in the US. The FT's Sonia Hudson went to Allentown to see what Republicans are doing to win over Hispanic voters.

In this special episode of the FT News Briefing, listen to our four-part series on the US midterm elections. We go around the country to learn about some of the key issues on voters' minds, from inflation to election denialism. Think of it as your crash course for the election on November 8.
