In this episode of the Latino Vote Podcast, Mike Madrid is back and is here to tackle the hard truth: the Latino voter shift isn’t about turnout—it’s about policy.
While Democrats scramble to reconnect with a base that’s drifting right, Chuck and Mike break down the real reasons why working-class Latino voters are leaving the party. Spoiler: it’s not because Democrats didn’t show up to enough quinceañeras.

💥 Mike says it’s not a tactical problem—it’s a policy one.
📉 Chuck lays out how the party's strategy is built on outdated assumptions.
👷‍♂️ Together, they expose why working-class Latinos are walking away.

This is the conversation political insiders don’t want you to hear.
