On Monday’s episode of The Excerpt podcast, a new USA TODAY Suffolk University poll shows the presidential race is a virtual tie with 15 days until election day. Republicans argue that Donald Trump has always been weird, while Democrats are raising concerns about his age and mental fitness. An investigation is underway regarding a leak of classified documents about Israel’s plan to retaliate against Iran. Fewer students are identifying their race on college applications, particularly at selective universities. The 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony honored legends like Mary J. Blige and Jimmy Buffett. The podcast includes an interview with USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page about the latest poll results, as well as a discussion with USA TODAY Education Reporter Zach Schermele about declining race disclosures on college applications. The episode also covers Trump’s behavior, the investigation into the leaked documents, and the impact of a Supreme Court decision on college admissions. Additionally, details about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony are shared. The episode can be found on various podcast platforms, and listeners are encouraged to tune in for more updates.
