The State Of Trump's Union: What's Happening With The Irish-American Vote?

The State of Trump's Union is a 10-part series airing on The Last Word in the run-up to the US election in November. We'll be talking to a variety of people with informed views about the issues dividing and uniting the United States, where the country is politically, socially and economically, the dangers it's facing, where power lies and how it is used. This week we spoke to Irish sports journalist and author Dave Hannigan, who has been living in the United States for 20 years. Dave discussed the Irish immigrant experience in America, how the Irish vote is divided between the Democratic and Republican parties and how the culture wars have consumed sport.
