Monday Morning Politics: Polling Pre-November, Jamal Khashoggi, Violent Rhetoric

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 15, 2018

Washington Post national correspondent Philip Bump talks about the national political news from the past few days, as well as the disappearance of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

There is a historic number of women on the ballot who have made it past the primaries this year, but many in long-shot races. In most contested races, we're likely to see white men replaced by more white men, says @pbump. If we do see a more diverse House, it won't be by much.
