The Latino population this year makes up the largest non-white voting group, according to Axios. That’s why many political experts say it’s critical for Presidential Nominee Joe Biden to clinch the young Latino vote, which is one of the nation’s fastest growing populations. 

According to a recent piece in the Atlantic, Biden can learn from strategies used in Bernie Sanders’ campaign. Sanders handily won over that population in the California primary. The campaign drew on success from coordinated outreach to Latinos, and experts say that will be important for Biden’s success as well. But even if the Dems win the presidency in November, Julian Castro has warned there could be a loss of support in the long run. Today on AirTalk, Larry talks with political experts about the challenges ahead for both presidential candidates and how to secure support from this complex electorate.
