Summary

While Trump continues to sow fear around mail-in voting, the new Axios-Ipsos poll shows a partisan divide on the dangers of in-person voting. Plus, how the U.S. is now playing by China's internet rules. And, the rise in women-focused newsrooms. Guests: Axios' Margaret Talev, Scott Rosenberg, and Sara Fischer.
