Day: October 6, 2024

Election Day is less than a month away, and the candidates are using the final days to make gains in key battleground states. Both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are eager to win over voters in Pennsylvania, which has 19 electoral votes up for grabs. FOX News Contributor and former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove breaks down each campaign’s strategy and reacts to the vice-presidential debate. Between 1988 and 2012, Democrats relied on Wisconsin to swing their way in the Presidential Election. But in 2016, Donald Trump was narrowly able to win the state, securing him the path to the presidency. Although President Biden was able to win back Wisconsin in 2020, the state is poised to be a tossup yet again in November. FOX 6 Milwaukee Political Reporter Jason Calvi looks at the state of both presidential and Senate races and later shares which counties he’ll be watching closely on election night.

In the last few years, more than a dozen states have enacted laws that ban almost all abortions. Some include exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother. But a small, vocal group of anti-abortion activists say even these exceptions are morally wrong. They want to see a ban not only on all abortions but also on some fertility treatments, including IVF. They believe an embryo deserves the same rights as any human. On this episode of The Sunday Story from Up First, NPR’s Sarah McCammon takes us to a protest outside an IVF clinic and talks to activists who call themselves “abortion abolitionists.” These activists say their goal is to turn their beliefs into policy and are heartened by the progress they’ve made.
