Kamala Harris is the first African-American and South Asian woman running for president of the United States under a major party ticket. 

With over 34 million eligible Black voters ready to make their voices heard this election, we explore the shifting dynamics of their voting patterns. Will tradition hold, or is change in the air? 

In this episode of Now You Know, we explore the power of the Black vote and dissect the critical numbers in this fiercely competitive election race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.
