With only a few more weeks to go until Election Day, former President Trump made a campaign stop in New York, making his case to voters in the historically blue state. The Vice President Kamala Harris made an appearance in Michigan, being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, and drew criticism for deflecting on questions about the economy and border security. Both campaigns continue visits to key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Arizona and North Carolina, as recent polling shows that the 2024 race may come down to the wire. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) joins the Rundown to discuss the President’s recent visit to her home state, what she made of Vice President Harris’ sit down with Oprah, and her take on the final months of the Biden administration. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. In recent years, there has been an increased effort to destigmatize mental health issues and help those who are suffering. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline was launched just over two years ago to assist those in need of professional assistance and who feel they could cause harm to themselves. Dr. Anita Everett is the Director of the Center for Mental Health Services within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMSA. She joins the Rundown to discuss how 988 works, the warning signs of suicide, and what people can do to get the mental health services they or their family may need.
