store the right to choose for every woman in every state in America.

So vote.

You got to get out the vote.

We can do this if we vote.

President Biden makes a promise on abortion rights,

as well as another widely supported issue if Democrats can keep control of Congress after the midterms.

Plus, we'll have the big moments from a fiery Senate debate down in Florida as Marco Rubio

and Val Demings go after each other's legislative records.

Also ahead, the latest from Ukraine, where Russian forces are now more focused on civilians

than soldiers on the battlefield.

Good morning and welcome to way too early on this Wednesday, October 19th.

I'm Jonathan Lemire. Thanks for starting

your day with us. It was a fiery debate for the U.S. Senate in Florida last night between

Republican incumbent Marco Rubio and Democratic Congresswoman Val Demings. They clashed over

inflation, abortion rights, immigration, and guns.

Demings, who has consistently trailed in the polls, was on the attack for much of the night.

The senator who has never run anything at all but his mouth.

The senator has obviously resorted to lying, cheating, and trying to steal.

Senator, how gullible do you really think Florida voters are? Senator, you're repeating yourself again.

We've seen this show before.

Socialists, Socialists,

crazy, Marxist, silly.
