Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:

The Final Stretch and Senate State of Play : 

With less than a month to go until Election Day, and early voting underway in all but a handful of states, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are targeting key voters who are critical to winning the White House. The former President has rallies scheduled in blue states, while some Democrats are sounding the alarm that the Vice President’s popularity may have plateaued.

And another high stakes battle takes center stage this week, as both parties wrestle for control of the Senate, with recent polling showing that Republicans seem to have the advantage. 

Joining guest moderator and political correspondent at PBS News Hour, Lisa Desjardins, to discuss this and more:

  • Jeff Mason, White House Correspondent, Reuters
  • Jessica Taylor, Senate and Governors Editor, The Cook Political Report
  • Saleha Mohsin, Senior Washington Correspondent, Bloomberg 
  • Ashley Parker, Senior National Political Correspondent, The Washington Post

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, the Yuen Foundation, Sandra and Carl DeLay-Magnuson, Rose Hirschel and Andy Shreeves, Robert and Susan Rosenbaum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS.
