Ohio to send signal to the nation

CNN
About this episode

First: A special election in Ohio today will tell us a lot about 2024 and just how much abortion rights will motivate voters. The vote comes as brand-new poll numbers show a second straight summer of deep discontent with the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. 

Plus: Ron DeSantis replaces his campaign manager. Will the third shakeup of his campaign in less than a month be a charm? 

And: House Republicans say an impeachment inquiry is the one and only way to move forward versus Joe Biden. New CNN reporting pins down when they plan to do this.
