October Un-Surprise
from The TPM Show with Josh and Kate
Kate and Josh talk some of the last polls of the cycle, a repulsive new ad from the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign and the persecution of Ilhan Omar. Correction: While discussing the fall out over the Ramaswamy/Amy Acton ad, Kate and Josh misstated the outcome of Acton's stepfather's case. He was indicted by a grand jury, but because he fled his case never went to trial. Welcome to Polltober! A TPM YouTube Exclusive Series: You have questions, we have answers.
