Description

Today is the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris as the first Black & South Asian woman vice president. We discuss the Latinx representation during the events of inauguration week and dive into the Hispanic/Latino vote data for the 2020 election and compare it to 2016.

*Disclaimer: My opinions are my own, I'm just reading data from the Pew Research Center and Statista. The sources of the data are linked below and are not an apples to apples comparison. I looked at finalized data from 2016 and exiting poll data from 2020, which are not at the same level.
