Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Then-candidate Mark Keam draws his district on a map at his campaign kickoff event in Vienna, Va.
From refugees to Supreme Court nominees, issues of race and representation have factored heavily in the 2016 presidential campaign news cycle. One thread of conversation includes the growing Asian-American electorate, which was once voting steadily Republican nationwide but now increasingly for Democrats. In Virginia, presidential candidates from both parties are seeing opportunities in the Asian population. Kojo meets two Asian-Americans involved in the 2016 election cycle and explores the strategies at work across the political spectrum.
Guests
