    Roundup: Yes, Biden And Trump Are Going To Debate

    Roundup: Yes, Biden And Trump Are Going To Debate

    Michael Cohen, a former Donald Trump attorney and central witness for the prosecution, testified against the former president in court this week. His appearance is a sign the case could soon reach its conclusion.

    And President Biden and Trump will meet for at least two debates before November's election. Also, Maryland's expensive primary race has ended, and Democrat Angela Alsobrooks will face Republican Larry Hogan, a popular former governor whose candidacy could flip a Senate seat in the blue state to GOP control.

    Fearing Legal Risks, Fla. Voter Registration Groups Scale Back

    Fearing Legal Risks, Fla. Voter Registration Groups Scale Back

    Florida recently increased criminal penalties for mistakes and possible fraud by groups who work to register voters. The move has led many of the groups to dramatically scale back their efforts to limit their legal risk. That could lead to lower turnout rates for young voters and voters of color in November.

    This story was supported by the Pulitzer Center and co-reported with the Center for Public Integrity.

    This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, and political correspondent Susan Davis.
