Chris Murray is joined by economist John Phelan to break down the ongoing migration trend from "blue states" to "red states." Phelan, a graduate of Birkbeck College, University of London and the London School of Economics, brings a mix of academic insight and real-world experience, including a decade in finance and time with Capital Economics.
