If you are looking for an insightful view into the future of Latino political power in North Carolina and the key to winning the 2024 presidential race, you've come to the right place.

Founder of Poder NC Action, and our special guest this episode, Irene Godínez, shares her powerful journey as a 'tobacco-daughter' of Mexican immigrants who grew up in a vastly different North Carolina. Drawing from her family's experience being among the first Latino residents, Irene provides insight to the rapid growth of the Latino community, from migrant workers to political players, and how organizations like Poder NC are building a political home for the state's future leaders. Along with Chuck and Mike, they unpack how Latino voters are reshaping the state's politics, the challenges Latinos face, and the exciting potential our electorate can bring in upcoming elections. Plus, they uncover why North Carolina is a battleground state for more than just its swing voters.

In the latter half of the episode, Chuck and Mike break down the latest Trump vs. Harris debate, where they analyze Harris’s masterful performance, her strategic takedown of Trump, and what it means for the upcoming election.

Turn down for Chuck - who is calling in live, from a secretive warehouse in Chicago deep in the heart of the Democratic National Convention, to share with Mike all of the standout moments, including impactful speeches from Biden, AOC, and the Obamas, and the key figures shaping the party's swing in momentum. 

Chuck, who’s been attending Democratic conventions since 1996, notes the high momentum convention has generated for the Democrats. But is it enough to persuade Latino voters away from Trump? While the DNC generates some colorful happy moments for Democrats, Chuck and Mike analyze recent polling data and paint a black-and-white picture of how well Kamala needs to do to beat Trump come November.

From the use of content creators at political conventions to the nuances of targeting a diverse Latino community in both English and Spanish, Chuck and Mike have plenty to discuss in this exciting episode!

"The good news is, you're going to see a reorientation of the Democratic Party. It's not just going to be a party of rich, old, white, progressive people anymore. It's not. It needs to be a working class party. Kamala is giving you a reset, and you ignore the reset at your own peril." A good warning from Mike Madrid.

Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid dive into the surprising impact of Kamala Harris' campaign strategies, including her focus on border security. Are these moves energizing Latino voters? Well, her new border security advertisement is certainly making Mike nerd out.

They also explore the heated Arizona primaries, from Kari Lake's struggle to consolidate the Republican base to the unexpected challenges faced by established candidates like Blake Masters.
