Show Notes
Although only a little more than 1 percent of the electorate, the Indian Americans voter has become a demography to reckon with in the US elections 2020.

They're fighting elections, they're politically vocal, and they're also making significant donations towards both the Republican and Democratic parties.
But as both parties are trying to tap into this demography in the battleground states, who will the Indian-Americans likely vote for? Tune in to The Big Story!
