What the latest polling tells us about San Diego's top races, the San Diego Union-Tribune explains its election endorsements and voters prepare to give President Trump four more years or end the MAGA movement.

San Diego's Political Future

In the race for mayor, San Diego might go in a more progressive direction under Todd Gloria. At the county level, if Tara Lawson-Remer unseats Kristin Gaspar, democrats would hold a majority of seats on the county board. Voice of San Diego recently polled both races. Andrew Keatts talks to us about the results in the final days of the 2020 campaign.
