The Missing Middle with Mike Moffatt and Sabrina Maddeaux
The Housing Crisis Helped Trump Win
It doesn't matter how many times politicians say the economy is doing great. If someone can't afford a home, they're not going to believe you.
Cara and Mike discuss the significant impact of the housing crisis on Donald Trump's election victory, exploring how inflation and economic concerns shifted political views. They analyze migration patterns affecting electoral college votes and suggest that building more homes could help retain political power in progressive cities.
