Early voter turnout off to a strong start

Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for their final weeks before the midterm elections. Voters in Georgia are already casting their ballots in higher numbers than they did for the 2018 midterms elections. As of Thursday, the fourth day of early voting in the state, over 430,000 people had voted, which is more than 60% increase from 2018. That’s according to the Georgia Secretary of State. Plus, the exit of British Prime Minister Liz Truss reminds us why government deficits actually matter. Guests: Axios’ Margaret Talev, Hans Nichols and Neil Irwin. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Robin Linn, Lydia McMullen-Laird, Fonda Mwangi, and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
