We did two in-depth episodes on The Global Story about the midterms.
One on Dem divisions in Michigan. (Long before the wild weekend)
We interviewed Jewish voters. And we also spoke with Arab-Americans (something more news outlets should have also done)

This was one of my favorite episodes we aired this past week.
And a glimpse into how we’re trying to cover the midterms in a way that’s distinct and different. Take a listen!

The conventional wisdom in Washington is that Democrats are well-positioned to take control of the House, and possibly even the Senate, after the vote next week. But …

Brazil has just come through a fierce electoral campaign that saw left-wing incumbent Lula beat Flavio Bolsonaro, son of Jair Bolsonaro, the former president.

Tomorrow on The Global Story — a return to my political roots.
Most midterms are about domestic issues, like the economy. And this one is, of course too.
But in Michigan — Israel/Gaza has become such a major flashpoint.

He wrote five books, exploring subjects from the Wright brothers to his own experience learning how to play the piano in his 50s.
Adams' wife said he died at their home in Ohio on Friday.
