2020 in review: Prop 22, COVID-19, stranded American Samoans

Season 2021 Episode 2 | 5m 43s

NewsHour Weekend’s Laura Fong discusses some of the biggest stories she reported on in 2020: How COVID-19 and school shutdowns impacted students and how hundreds of American Samoans are stranded in the U.S. for months because the island territory closed its borders. Also, California’s Prop 22, a ballot measure that app companies funded to keep their drivers as independent contractors.
