Alabama Special Senate Election Heads Into Final Hours
One of the most-controversial Senate elections in history is heading into the homestretch. Elle.com's Mattie Kahn joins us with everything you need to know before the people of Alabama head to the polls. She gives the latest on the heels of President Trump's Pensacola rally, where he urged the audience to vote for Roy Moore.
Kahn considers how much of a boost the president's rally really is to Moore's candidacy. She also gives a prediction on who she thinks will be the state's next senator. Plus, we discuss whether Democratic candidate Doug Jones' help from Barack Obama and Cory Booker is enough to move the needle.
Finally, Kahn tells us about her latest piece profiling a New York-based women's activism group called "The Broad Room." The group formed to give women resources to become better citizens, and also to help raise funds for elections around the country. Kahn discusses how establishment politicians could take notice and try to leverage the strength of grassroots movements like these.
