The Trump Campaign’s Big Gamble

Warning: this episode contains strong language.

The presidential campaign is in its final week and one thing remains true: the election is probably going to come down to a handful of voters in a swing states.

Jessica Cheung, a producer for “The Daily,” and Jonathan Swan, a reporter covering politics for The Times, take us inside Donald Trump’s unorthodox campaign to win over those voters.

Guest:

• Jessica Cheung, a senior producer of “The Daily.”
• Jonathan Swan, a reporter covering politics and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for The New York Times.

Background reading:

• In Arizona, many Latino families are divided about the 2024 election.
• The electorate has rarely seemed so evenly divided. The latest New York Times/Siena College poll found Harris and Trump tied at 48 to 48 percent.
