In this episode of The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, CNN Political Commentator Ana Navarro takes viewers on a cross-country exploration, examining the impact of the Latino vote in the 2024 US presidential election. With an estimated 36 million Latinos eligible to vote, an increase of nearly 4 million since the last election, the Latino community’s influence on the election outcome could be significant.
Navarro, a prominent Republican critic of former President Donald Trump, has now shifted her support to Vice President Kamala Harris. In this episode, she embarks on a journey to understand the diverse issues that resonate with Latino communities across the political spectrum. She starts in her hometown of Miami, known for its large Cuban American population, and meets with CNN Senior National Correspondent Ed Lavandera at the southern tip of Texas, a predominantly Latino region.
Navarro discovers that assumptions about political leanings in these communities can be misleading. She uncovers the complexities of Latino voters’ decision-making, finding that a range of issues is influencing their choices. The episode also takes viewers to the critical swing states of Georgia and Pennsylvania, specifically the cities of Cumming and Bethlehem, which have significant Latino populations that could play a pivotal role in the election.
