Last night, President Joe Biden went after Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, another possible Presidential candidate. In the fight for control of the US Senate, 2 states, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, are pivotal. In the final week, Democrats and Republicans are pouring millions of dollars into those campaigns.

At issue is admissions policies at both Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. Education Reporter for the Washington Examiner, Jeremiah Poff, joins to share his input on the case. And today is the Feast of All Souls, where we pray especially for the dead who are believed to be in Purgatory.
