Voter apathy is a thing of the past in national elections

As recently as 2014, turnout for the nation’s midterm elections fell to its lowest point since 1942, a time when wartime mobilization had disrupted the lives of millions of Americans. Midterm turnout soared in 2018 to the highest level in more than a century. In the 2018 midterm elections, young people, in particular, turned out at significantly higher rates than they previously had. When voter turnout has surged in recent elections, it’s often been Trump voters who have surprised people by showing up. Biden used it to illustrate his main argument ahead of next month’s midterm election: Democrats have done big things to improve Americans’ day-to-day lives.

Fetterman, showing after-effects of stroke, debates Oz in key Pennsylvania Senate race

In the opening minutes of the debate, Fetterman addressed what he called the “elephant in the room.”“I had a stroke. He’s never let me forget that,” Fetterman said of Oz, who has persistently questioned Fetterman’s ability to serve in the Senate. Stroke rehabilitation specialist Dr. Sonia Sheth, who watched the debate, called Fetterman an inspiration to stroke survivors. Democrats noted that the televised debate setting likely would have favored Oz even without questions about the stroke. Many Republicans were thrilled by the debate’s outcome, although most — including Oz — tried to avoid piling on to concerns about Fetterman’s health.
