On today's Countdown 2024--abortion. It's perhaps the most contentious and divisive issue in American politics. Passions flare when the topic comes up, arguments break out between friends and people hardly ever budge on the issue. We look into what its impact will be this presidential election.

Will Roe v. Wade, Dobbs and abortion change the election?

46 days to go until election day.  On today's Countdown 2024--the youth vote. Many young people will be casting ballots for the first time. We talk to one young Democrat and one young Republican who are both excited to vote in a presidential election for the first time. We'll ask them though if others their age feel the same way. 

Martin Bertao is a UC Berkeley student and chairman of California College Republicans. Also with us is Aiden Ledbetter, a UC Davis student and president of California College Democrats. Both will be voting in their first presidential election.

The youth vote: Are young voters excited about Harris vs. Trump?

47 days to go until election day .   On today's Countdown 2024 we're turning to local politics:  one week ago, we talked with embattled LA City Councilman Kevin de Leon.  Today, we're talking with the woman looking to unseat him ... Ysabel Jurado.

But first----a quick spin around the political world:

We may be on the verge of a shakeup in the race for governor of North Carolina.  Republican candidate Mark Robinson is facing pressure from fellow Republicans and the Trump campaign to leave the race in the key swing-state. This because of a damning scandal involving several inflammatory comments ... of a sexual nature ... that Robinson allegedly made on a pornographic website's message board as being reported by CNN. Robinson has said he's staying in the race and has denied making the comments, calling the story "tabloid trash".

The  so-called Uncommitted Movement ... which sprang from  organizing efforts to get people to vote "uncommitted” in Democratic primaries to  protest  the Biden administration's handling of the Israel-Gaza war ... says it will NOT be endorsing Kamala Harris for president ... even though the group opposes Donald Trump.

This could have major reverberations in a swing state like Michigan. Thousands of Arab American voters there remain disenchanted over Kamala Harris's refusal to support an arms embargo against Israel.

Division within the powerful Teamsters Union. Yesterday, the union said it will not be endorsing either Trump or Harris. But several local Teamster councils went ahead and endorsed Harris on their own. That includes the West Coast Teamsters with some 300 thousand members right here in California.

Ysabel Jurado is a relative political unknown ... going up against one of the most experienced and established politicians in Southern California.  But that didn't stop Jurado from upsetting the scandal-plagued Kevin de Leon in the primary.

Jurado describes herself as a "tenants rights attorney, affordable housing activist, single mom, daughter of undocumented Filipino immigrants, and a lifelong Angeleno" ... and she joins us today on Countdown 2024.
