Trump's Thread of Influence: Trend-Setting or Political Theater? Is the Fashion Joke on us? Oct 17, 2024

Last week, we took a look at Kamala Harris' thread of influence. This week, we're sizing up Donald Trump's. Make no mistake that he's able to label, brand, and mass-market his messages to the public -- And JD Vance is following suit.

In this episode, we look at the trends inspired by Trump and the Republican Party, like the MAGA hat, that time President Biden was asked to put on the red cap (and did), and the Harris-Walz campaign's camo hat. From the way Trump and Vance label and nickname their opponents, to the "Republican Barbie" uniform, to cat lady sweaters on the latest runways, Juan Diego, Sara and Sofia are unpacking the controversies and cultural significance behind these choices. Plus, we talk about American humor in political fashion, such as 'nasty woman' T-shirts and cat lady sweaters -- and how these trending jokes might be on us.

AZ's Native American Vote: Will History Repeat Itself? Aug 29, 2024

Karma, Karma, "Kamala Chameleon?" Aug 15, 2024

Never thought we'd say this, but you could liken Kamala Harris' political career to the story of Goldilocks. Some moments are considered "too soft" on crime, other policies are considered "too hard." But is she "Commie-la" or "Cop-ala?" And can she lead a campaign that's "just right" for the American people?

In this episode, Sara and Juan Diego trace Kamala Harris' journey from the newly integrated elementary school, where she played 'Miss Mary Mack,' to her groundbreaking career as District Attorney, Attorney General, U.S. Senator, Vice President, and, now, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sara and JD discuss her biracial identity, her strategic choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as a running mate, and the multifaceted challenges she faces winning over both progressive and moderate voters. Along the way, the hosts tackle Harris's criminal record that have both elevated and haunted her career, painting a picture of a woman with a Black and Brown history that isn't so black or white.

The episode is co-hosted by Nationly’s producer-reporter Sofia Sanchez and multimedia journalist J.D. Ramirez.

Louisiana is Red, NOLA's Blue, ‘Climate's an Everyday Voter Issue’ Aug 08, 2024

Basically, anything you’re afraid of regarding Trump or Project 2025’s policies is already in place in Louisiana, says Capital B’s national climate reporter Adam Mahoney.

Louisiana, ranking second as both the poorest and Blackest state in the country, has voted Republican since 2004. In fact, back in 2020, Donald Trump won it by nearly 20 percent of the vote.

In this episode of Nationly, host Juan Diego Ramirez and guest host Sofia Sanchez learn from Adam about how climate and environmental matters are not typically perceived as “everyday voter issues.” And, he explains how Louisiana’s nationwide concerns will be answered (or dismissed) at the federal level, by the future president and their administration.

Ok, I'll Bite: Who...What...is a "Viable" Candidate? Aug 01, 2024

In light of President Biden's decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, co-hosts Juan Diego Ramirez and Sara Sadhwani are exploring the concept of political viability.

For a presidential candidate, what does it mean to be “viable? Showing mental and physical fitness? Meeting constitutional qualifications? Serving “brat” behavior? In this episode, Sara and JD discuss Biden's debate performance, Trump's legal challenges, and Harris's readiness as a candidate. And, ultimately, who or what decides a candidate's viability?

La población puertorriqueña estadounidense que vive en Pensilvania podría ser el factor determinante en uno de los estados claves en esta elección presidencial.

Pensilvania, el estado natal del presidente Joe Biden, votó demócrata en 2020, pero ¿cómo votará esta vez el estado pendular más poblado de Estados Unidos? Con casi 500.000 puertorriqueños listos para votar en el estado, la creciente población puertorriqueña podría ser el margen de diferencia en las próximas elecciones de 2024.

Could Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania Sway the Election? Jul 18, 2024

Pennsylvania’s Puerto Rican American population could potentially pivot America’s most populous swing state.

That’s not only a tongue twister, but, also, an election twister.

President Joe Biden’s home state of Pennsylvania ultimately voted blue in 2020, but which color will America’s most populous swing state vote this time around? With nearly 500,000 Puerto Rican Americans ready to vote in the Keystone State, the large and growing community could be the margin of difference in the upcoming 2024 elections.

In this episode, co-hosts Sara and Juan Diego discuss Puerto Rican Americans’ voting power in Pennsylvania — their migration history to the state, the issues impacting their communities, and their potential to sway the election.

Behind the Iron-y Bars: Who’d be Elected if *all* Convicted Felons Could Vote? Jul 11, 2024

While convicted felon — and former president — Donald Trump parades across the United States, campaigning for electoral support, thousands of American people convicted with felonies sit barred from voting.

Gen Z Democrat vs. Indicted Republican Incumbent Jun 27, 2024

Ashwin Ramaswami is the 24-year-old Democrat — and recent Georgetown Law School graduate — campaigning for a seat in the Georgia Senate. Ramaswami, who previously worked to create election protections at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), quit his job to challenge Senator Shawn Still after the Republican incumbent was indicted for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.

In this episode, Nationly sits down with Ramaswami to talk about connecting with both young and old voters, as well as to discuss the nuances of representing the Indian community in Georgia’s 48th Senate District, in the greater United States, and around the world.

Georgia’s Power Players: The Rising Influence of Indian-American Voters Jun 20, 2024

In this episode, we explore Georgia's historic political shift in 2020 when the state narrowly elected Joe Biden, marking the first Democratic presidential win since 1992. Asian voters were a big part of that result, as voter registration and participation surged from 2016 to 2020, leading the turnout increase. Our focus today is on Indian-American voters in Georgia, a significant yet often overlooked group in political discussions.

Apart from their voting power, Indian-Americans are becoming more prominent in elections, evidenced by the popularity of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley in recent primaries. We also introduce an Indian-American Gen Z candidate, Ashwin Ramaswami, running for State Senate in District 48, showcasing the new wave of political engagement.

Debunking the Latino Vote Jun 13, 2024

In 2016, Trump claimed victory in Arizona, but in 2020, Biden narrowly won by a razor-thin margin of 11,000 votes. This episode explores the diverse perspectives within the "Latino vote" and questions the existence of a cohesive voting bloc. Our focus centers on Arizona's Senate race, featuring Ruben Gallego, a Latino war veteran and Democrat, against Kari Lake, a Republican known for her hard-right views and election denialism.

This pivotal contest unfolds against the backdrop of recent legislative actions, including the state's repeal of its abortion ban and SB1070, a controversial anti-immigrant "show me your papers" law. In Arizona's evolving political landscape, this episode examines the changing dynamics of the Latino vote and its impact on critical issues such as abortion and immigration.

A Brutal Choice Jun 06, 2024

In this premiere episode of Nationly, we take a closer look at how the feelings surrounding Gaza have influenced voter sentiment, particularly among Muslim voters in Michigan who have harnessed the power of their vote to send a message. We explore the importance and history of this community in Michigan, especially in Dearborn and Ann Arbor, a crucial swing state that Trump narrowly won by 11,000 votes.

Growing anti-Biden sentiment is evident in Michigan through the Uncommitted National Movement and among Gen Z and college students. The Uncommitted National Movement is gaining momentum and aims to significantly impact the 2024 elections, while student protests and encampments on college campuses reflect increasing dissatisfaction with Biden's policies. Amid ongoing pro-Palestinian protests, the episode questions whether political parties can continue to overlook the powerful Muslim vote.

The episode is co-hosted by political science professor Sara Sadhwani and multimedia journalist J.D. Ramirez.
