As both the Democratic and Republican races remain in flux, so does the American electorate itself. The Pew Research Center noted that white Americans, as a demographic, are the slowest-growing segment of the electorate, while Latinos and Asian-Americans are the fastest growing.

Sanders also compared exploitation in guest worker programs often used by Latinos to slavery… which may be seen as a flawed analogy by some listeners.
