It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report
On today's show:
It's election day in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, and if you live there, make sure you get out and vote for Aftyn Behn.
Aftyn Behn highlights the contrast between her public, open-to-all campaign events and those of her opponent, Matt Van Epps, who has been hosting gatherings behind locked gates at his mansion.
Donald Trump calls into a rally with a last-minute pitch for Matt Van Epps, claiming that Behn "hates Christianity."
Aftyn appears on NewsNation to make her final case, pledging to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA subsidies, and to fight the affordability crisis facing her district.
Jasper Nathaniel, publisher of Infinite Jaz on Substack joins Sam and Emma to provide an update on his return from reporting in the West Bank.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
