Jane Coaston joins Erin Ryan to break down Vivek Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad in the Ohio governor’s race, Bari Weiss’s predictable push to smear Abdul El-Sayed, and ICE ramping up its daily arrests ahead of Election Day. Then they review the most important down-ballot abortion measures in Idaho, Missouri, Virginia, and Nevada. They wrap up with a petty rant session about Trump’s women’s health initiative.
