Elon Musk is at the door

This week, The Washington Post's Libby Casey, Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann are joined by senior video journalists JM Rieger and Jorge Ribas to discuss two key states – Michigan and Pennsylvania – and what voters and grassroots organizers are telling them in the final weeks of the election. Plus, tech billionaire Elon Musk is using his money and influence – as well as his app, X (formerly Twitter) – in support of Trump in the final weeks of the election. But how much do those efforts rely on distorting the truth or promising voters money in a way that might be illegal? And later, video journalist HyoJung Kim joins the show to share her reporting on how Trump and Harris voters say they will feel if their candidate loses the election – and what they plan to do about it.
