In what is likely to be the final debate between the campaigns this election season, Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz debated a wide range of issues Tuesday night in the CBS News vice presidential debate.  Though it was a largely civil debate, there were some false and misleading claims made by the candidates.  Politifact editor-in-chief Katie Sanders joins the podcast to fact check the claims made by Vance and Walz.

Then,  AJC reporter Dave Wickert gibes us a look at the more than 22 lawsuits that have been filed challenging rules and procedures related to the state election board and other aspects of voting in Georgia this year.

Later, a report on Kamala Harris’ plan to visit Hurricane Helene-ravaged Augusta today and Governor Kemp’s continuing tours of devastated areas of the state. The AJC’s Greg Bluestein has been traveling Helene-ravaged areas with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and joins us live from Augusta ahead of Vice President Harris’s visit.
