Lost Debate

Donald Trump has gained momentum in key battleground states like Nevada and Arizona, while Kamala Harris continues to perform strongly in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Could this set the stage for a close Election Day showdown? Ravi breaks down the latest early voting trends, explaining how the numbers will shape the final days of the election and what to expect from both campaigns in the critical 12 days ahead.

Then, Reed Albergotti from Semafor joins Ravi for a deep dive into the fast-evolving world of artificial intelligence and the company at the center of it all, OpenAI. Ravi and Reed discuss the rising tensions within the company as it transitions to a for-profit model, the complex relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft, and what to expect next in the high-stakes race for AI dominance among tech giants.
