Jake Tapper opens CNN Tonight with a monologue on political scandals past and present, covering both the quirky, and the shocking. Mark McKinnon was the Chief Media Advisor to George W. Bush. He joins to discuss Herschel Walker’s debate with Raphael Warnock in their race for the Georgia Senate, as Walker doubles-down on his assertion the abortion scandal he faces is based on a lie, and Warnock accuses him of pretending to be a police officer.

Senator Bernie Sanders joins to talk about his new Op-Ed, which says Democrats are wrong to focus on abortion as their closing argument ahead of the midterms, and should instead focus on the economy and their pro-worker agenda. Plus, Jake interviews actress and activist Nazanin Boniadi about her meeting with Vice President Harris on Iranian women protesting over the brutality of Iran’s morality police, and the criticizms of racism being made against "Rings of Power" in which she stars.

Hosted by Jake Tapper.
