On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we continue our series on different voter blocs.
Over the past 20 years, Asian Americans have been the fastest-growing group of eligible voters in the United States. In the past four years alone, they’ve added 2 million eligible voters. Among this diverse group are diverse political opinions. Show host Rose Scott speaks with Asian Americans representing advocacy groups and both major political parties.
