About this episode

A.M. Edition for Nov. 4. Ten states are set to vote on whether to restore constitutional protections for abortion tomorrow. Those efforts are polling well, but the WSJ’s Laura Kusisto says it’s not clear whether that will translate to wins for Democrats elsewhere on the ballot. Plus, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris tailor their closing arguments to men and women in a race defined by a stark gender gap. And oil prices rise after Iran warns of a stronger response to Israel’s latest attack. Luke Vargas hosts.
