ICE Raids are on the Ballot with Astead Herndon

The ICE raids are on the ballot this November. But does any of it actually move voters? Political journalist Astead Herndon has spent a decade asking voters what they really believe, and his answers aren’t comfortable.

John Carlos Frey talks with Herndon, host of Vox’s America, Actually, former host of The Run-Up at The New York Times and a CNN political analyst. Herndon argues that President Trump tried to “soft steal” the midterms before they started, through redistricting, fights over mail ballots and pressure on states over voter rolls.

On immigration, Herndon says the crackdown isn’t winning votes and is driving a backlash, including among the Latino voters who swung toward Trump two years ago. He explains why he sees Latino voters as the swing voters who decide general elections. They also discuss what could happen if Democrats win big and the administration refuses to accept it, why the press has lost the public’s trust, and why Herndon now thinks the country needs a constitutional convention.
