Hello there.
It's Michelle Martin.
Real quick before the show.
It has been a wild, exciting, exhausting election season and in the home stretch, as you continue to follow things here on up first, we want you to know there are two other ways to make sure you don't miss a development throughout the day.
First, every weekday you can find a new episode of the NPR Politics Podcast with context and analysis on the big stories whenever they happen.
So you get an alert.
Big breaking news.
You don't know what to think.
Look for the NPR Politics Podcast a few hours later.
And second, consider this is the podcast where NPR covers one big story in depth every weekday evening.
They will be all over the selection and its aftermath, too.
So you've got up first in the morning.
Consider this in the evening and the NPR Politics Podcast anytime big things happen.
And around the clock Election News Survival Kit from NPR Podcast.
Okay, thank you for listening.
Here's the show.
Former President Donald Trump has sounded tired and erratic and is using even more profanity than usual in recent weeks.
He's messed up names, forgotten the word friar, and called his opponent Kamala Harris stupid.
Could this be his farewell tour?
I'm Michelle Martin, and this is up first from NPR News.
