Vivek Is Trash w. Jane Coaston

Jane Coaston joins Erin Ryan to break down Vivek Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad in the Ohio governor’s race, Bari Weiss’s predictable push to smear Abdul El-Sayed, and ICE ramping up its daily arrests ahead of Election Day. Then they review the most important down-ballot abortion measures in Idaho, Missouri, Virginia, and Nevada. They wrap up with a petty rant session about Trump’s women’s health initiative.
