Show Notes

Millions of Americans have already turned out in early voting for this year’s midterms in a number of states, setting up a battle between two competing visions for America. While Republicans hammer home messages on inflation and the economy, Democrats focus on defending democracy and the rights of women and families. But with President Biden facing low approval ratings on the economy, it's a tough political environment for Democrats right now. Correspondent Jeff Zeleny looks at a closely-watched race in Michigan. 

Also on today's show: Nic Robertson on the realities of Russia's war; Ben Macintyre, author of Prisoners of the Castle; US Senate Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse; Matthew Delmont, author of Half American.
