The Trump Campaign’s Big Gamble

Warning: this episode contains strong language.

The presidential campaign is in its final week and one thing remains true: the election is probably going to come down to a handful of voters in a swing states.

Jessica Cheung,  a producer for “The Daily,” and Jonathan Swan, a reporter covering politics for The Times, take us inside Donald Trump’s unorthodox campaign to win over those voters.

Guest: 

• Jessica Cheung (https://www.nytimes.com/by/jessica-cheung) , a senior producer of “The Daily.”
• Jonathan Swan (https://www.nytimes.com/by/jonathan-swan) , a reporter covering politics and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• In Arizona (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/24/us/trump-latino-voters-arizona.html) , many Latino families are divided about the 2024 election.
• The electorate has rarely seemed so evenly divided (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/25/us/politics/poll-harris-trump-times-siena.html) . The latest New York Times/Siena College poll found Harris and Trump tied at 48 to 48 percent.
