Latinos were key to president-elect Joe Biden´s victory, even in places like Arizona and Nevada. However, there won´t be a honeymoon period and his progressive agenda likely hinge on whether or not Democrats capture Senate control in a runoff election in Georgia on January 5th.
In this episode, Kenneth Romero, executive director of the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators, discuss how important it is that Biden names at least 5 Latinos to his Cabinet, and what advocacy groups can to push for pressing issues like immigration reform next year.
