Plenty of people were offended but there is truth to the notion that there are more childless Americans than there used to be. Michigan State's Jennifer Watling Neal joins to discuss her research of Americans who've chosen not to have kids.And, finally, a sendoff for one of our favorite student producers, Delaney Hayes, who is off to law school and then ruling the world!

The teams are set -- Harris/Walz versus Trump/Vance -- and we have new polling laying out some big changes in the race. JD Vance got our attention with his comments about childless cat ladies, but it is actually true that Americans have been having fewer kids for decades. Why is that? There's no fun fact this week, but instead a sendoff for one of the Poll Hub team.
