Episode 39: The Puerto Rico Election 2020

In case you missed it, the United States wasn’t the only place on earth with an election 2 weeks ago on November 3rd. Puerto Rico had an election that same day too, so we’re going to discuss the results of the election and take a quick run through the history of Puerto Rico political parties.

Both of these topics are rich with information, so we’ve invited Michael Rodríguez, assistant professor of sociology & Latina/o studies at Northwestern University, and Edoardo Ortiz, a returning guest to the show and recent grad of the Harris School of Public Policy at The University of Chicago, to help us make sense of it all.
