Make Me Smart

A new demographic reality is coming

Listen Later

As birthrates fall and baby boomers grow older, the demographic makeup of the United States is set to drastically change in the next decade. We’ll talk about what that could mean for the modern economy. And we’ll discuss the logistics of the 14th Amendment and the budding idea that it could bar former President Donald Trump from participating in next year’s election. Plus, a step forward for women’s sports in Spain.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

          • “A clause in the Constitution may disqualify Trump from returning to the White House?” from NPR
