Summary

We're a week away from Election Day and it's looking like former Vice President Joe Biden has a clear and comfortable lead. But, both sides know that nothing is guaranteed and the stakes now are different for each. Democrats are deciding whether to play it safe in or expand the map after record fundraising. And Republicans are again making tough decisions about whether to hitch their campaigns on a trump win. Plus, what the election polls mean. And, scientists have found water on the moon.
