In the November 2020 election, Joe Biden's victory in Arizona was bolstered by the Native American vote, contributing to his overall win. In this episode, Juan Diego and Sara explore the significant role Native American voters play in U.S. elections, highlighting their historical and ongoing challenges with the federal government. While Native Americans generally lean Democratic, issues such as unemployment, inflation, reproductive health, and federal recognition remain pivotal. Despite their potential electoral impact, Native American communities face substantial barriers to voting, including limited polling access and inadequate outreach from political parties. The discussion includes the importance of genuine engagement and the implications for future elections, particularly in swing states like Arizona.

Never thought we'd say this, but you could liken Kamala Harris' political career to the story of Goldilocks. Some moments are considered "too soft" on crime, other policies are considered "too hard." But is she "Commie-la" or "Cop-ala?" And can she lead a campaign that's "just right" for the American people? In this episode, Sara and Juan Diego trace Kamala Harris' journey from the newly integrated elementary school, where she played 'Miss Mary Mack,' to her groundbreaking career as District Attorney, Attorney General, U.S. Senator, Vice President, and, now, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sara and JD discuss her biracial identity, her strategic choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as a running mate, and the multifaceted challenges she faces winning over both progressive and moderate voters. Along the way, the hosts tackle Harris's criminal record that have both elevated and haunted her career, painting a picture of a woman with a Black and Brown history that isn't so black or white.

Basically, anything you’re afraid of regarding Trump or Project 2025’s policies is already in place in Louisiana, says Capital B’s national climate reporter Adam Mahoney. Louisiana, ranking second as both the poorest and Blackest state in the country, has voted Republican since 2004. In fact, back in 2020, Donald Trump won it by nearly 20 percent of the vote.  In this episode of Nationly, host Juan Diego Ramirez and guest host Sofia Sanchez learn from Adam about how climate and environmental matters are not typically perceived as “everyday voter issues.” And, he explains how Louisiana’s nationwide concerns will be answered (or dismissed) at the federal level, by the future president and their administration.
