Episode description

John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania's open U.S. Senate seat, is hanging on to his lead over his Republican opponent, Mehmet Oz. But Republicans are sharpening their attacks by questioning Fetterman’s health and fitness for office, after he suffered a stroke earlier this year.

Things are heating up in Arizona's secretary of state race, where Democrat Adrian Fontes is squaring off against far-right MAGA Republican Mark Finchem to become the state’s top election official. Fontes tells us what's at stake, and why these offices are so important.

And in headlines: Baltimore prosecutors dropped charges against Adnan Syed, Nury Martinez announced she's taking a "leave of absence" from the L.A. City Council, and Tulsi Gabbard said she’s leaving the Democratic Party.
