President Biden on Wednesday made his closing argument to voters ahead of Election Day. In a speech delivered near Capitol Hill, where violent extremists attempted to overturn the 2020 election, he warned that America’s democratic traditions are on the line this midterm cycle.

For our final installment of WAD The Vote, Rep. Sean Casten, the first Democrat to represent Illinois’ 6th Congressional District in decades, tells us how he entered politics, and why he’s running for a third term.

And in headlines: a surprise ceasefire was reached to end two years of civil war in Ethiopia, the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate by another 0.75%, and hospitals are reporting an alarming surge in R.S.V. cases among young children.
