The Switch Up Election Series — Harris vs. Trump, and what it means for conservatives
Whitley Yates, a proud Republican, is the director of diversity and engagement for the Indiana Republican Party.
Yates believes in bringing all voices to the table, and in her role, she launched the Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series, a program aiming to attract, train and support conservative minorities throughout the Hoosier State.
In this special election edition, she joins The Switch Up to discuss how the change at the top of the Democratic ticket could impact former President Trump’s campaign; if Vice President Harris can win over voters and how Black voters could decide this year’s election — now just 71 days away.
Listen above.
Editor's note: This episode was recorded before the Democratic National Convention after President Biden announced he would not seek reelection.
