Black Republican voters are taking up space in election coverage this year. A reporter working with public radio’s Reveal tells us why.

Garrison Hayes goes deep on voters defying the stereotype that Black voters are a monolith, in conversations with voters at the Republican National Convention, to the final weeks of the campaign trail.

He talks with co-host Leoneda Inge about what voters are looking for this election.

Guest

Garrison Hayes, video correspondent for Mother Jones
