  • 614 - Election 2024: Miami-Dade County's shift to red and Black and Latino voters

    On the South Florida Roundup, we looked at the Trump triumph, the MAGA makeover, the GOP juggernaut, the Republican rout – whatever you want to call this week’s general election in Miami-Dade County. You could also call it the Democratic disaster (01:06). Donald Trump became the first Republican and up and down the ballot, GOP candidates here marched in on his coattails. And, if you thought this was just a Latino thing — think again (37:10).

  • 613 - Election 2024: Local races in South Florida

    On the South Florida Roundup, a panel of South Florida journalists help make sense of what voters face on Tuesday (01:08).

  • 612 - Latinos and Amendment 4, new school bus cameras in Miami-Dade County and Cuba's chronic blackout

    On the South Florida Roundup, we discussed the all-out outreach to Latino voters on Florida’s Amendment 4 – and other abortion access ballot measures across the country. Will Latinos be the issue’s swing vote (1:10)? We also looked at the controversial company and candidate behind the admittedly popular new school bus traffic cameras now used in Miami-Dade County (21:27). And, we looked at the causes — and the possible fallout — of communist Cuba’s chronic blackout nightmare (36:25).

  • 611 - Tornadoes in South Florida, Miami's culture of neglect and Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua

    On the South Florida Roundup we looked at the spate of deadly tornadoes spawned by Hurricane Milton last week — 26 of them — which made Florida feel more like Kansas (01:10). We also discussed WLRN’s new series “Culture of Neglect,” which looks at efforts to restore Miami’s important but too often uncared for cultural institutions (19:15). And we examined the violent Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua that’s now at the center of the presidential election’s immigration debate (34:50).

  • 610 - Hispanic vote: presidential candidate town halls and election disinformation

    On the South Florida Roundup, we focus on the Hispanic vote — one of the most important in this region and this state. We reviewed Vice President Kamala Harris’ televised Hispanic town hall in Las Vegas Thursday and preview the one that former President Donald Trump will hold Wednesday in Miami (01:10). A panel of Hispanic journalists and experts helped us examine why election disinformation is so rampant in Spanish-language media (19:23) — and what, if anything, can be done about it (35:40).
