Summary

Four weeks remain until the presidential election, and while both Vice President Harris and former President Trump have been stumping in numerous states around the country, it does not seem to be making much difference in the polls. Both campaigns are looking to secure fractions of percentages in swing states in order to secure a win, and many experts predict the election could come down to thousands of votes in places like Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Managing Editor for Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics Kyle Kondik joins the Rundown to discuss why the polls are not moving ahead of Election Day and what issues are factoring into Americans' voting decisions. Days after Hurricane Helene caused major damage across Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, another major storm is on the way. FOX Weather has upgraded Hurricane Milton to a Category 5 storm, whose path is heading up the coast of Florida. The threats of a fresh severe weather event are prompting mass evacuations in the Sunshine State as homes and businesses are still actively recovering from Hurricane Helene only weeks ago. Many Americans are under the impression that flood damage is covered under their homeowner's insurance; however, that is not the case. Mark Friedlander, director of corporate communications at the Insurance Information Institute, joins to share how people can make sure their home has the proper coverage in the wake of a national disaster. Plus, commentary by Jake Matthews, Director of Media Services at JLK Political Strategies. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
