Five Big Issues Americans Are Voting On This Election


Listen Later

National issues are increasingly crowding out more local concerns in elections across the country.

With that in mind, we hear from five NPR correspondents covering some of the issues that may shape the course of the midterms.

Scott Horsley unpacks inflation. Sarah McCammon explains how this year's Supreme Court decision striking down a constitutional right to abortion is shaping voter decisions. Joel Rose puts immigration numbers in context. Martin Kaste explains why Republicans are making crime an election issue. And Miles Parks explains why Democrats say Democracy itself is on the ballot.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
