Voters cast their ballots at a Masonic Lodge in Los Angeles, California.

We're one week away from the election. Millions of Americans have already cast their votes, but Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are not done campaigning.

Over the weekend, Harris garnered support from several major Latino artists, including Bad Bunny, J-Lo and Ricky Martin.

We talk about the role Latino voters are playing in the election.
