Episode Synopsis

As Election Day approaches, the 2020 “Stop the Steal” movement is organizing a plan to contest Trump’s potential loss, involving legal challenges and protests on January 6th. Meanwhile, false claims about voting irregularities in Michigan are being promoted by the Election Integrity Network. In response to pro-Palestine protests, Kamala Harris is using the situation to highlight her stance on a Gaza ceasefire. Additionally, a federal court is now involved in a legal battle over Elon Musk’s political giveaways aimed at boosting Trump’s campaign. Republican Senators are optimistic about regaining a 52-seat majority in the Senate.
