The Wall Street Journal
About this episode

A.M. Edition for Oct. 24. WSJ politics editor Ben Pershing says voters have adopted a more positive view of Donald Trump’s past performance and a more negative view of Kamala Harris, but cautions that the former president’s narrow lead is within the poll’s margin of error. Plus, private Medicare insurers got billions for questionable home diagnoses, a new inspector general’s report says. And the WSJ’s Stephen Wilmot says Tesla’s progress on costs and a bullish outlook for 2025 deliveries have boosted investor confidence. Luke Vargas hosts.
