A First-Time Voter’s Complicated Path Navigating Family and Politics

3m 47s

Sitting at a crowded taquería, Jerry Reyes talks about the upcoming election, and describes what matters to him as a 24-year-old, first-time voter: he wants to “make money.” And while he concedes that he himself is a product of immigrants, he thinks it’s time to close the border. Jerry sells insurance, is a registered Republican, and is voting for Trump.
