9/11 remembrance, a GOP midterm push, and Missouri's maps
NPR's Up First covers the September 11 anniversary, the closing Republican midterm convention, and a Supreme Court redistricting fight.
In brief
NPR's Up First covers the September 11 anniversary, the closing Republican midterm convention, and a Supreme Court redistricting fight. Three threads run through the day: a national day of mourning, a party making its midterm case, and a Supreme Court case that could redraw Missouri. Originally reported by NPR.
A morning of remembrance
September 11 brings the country back to ceremonies, name readings and moments of silence, 25 years after the attacks.
“Remembering 9/11”
The Republican convention wraps
Republicans close out their midterm convention, the party's set-piece moment to settle on a message before voters decide control of Congress.
Vance and Trump make the ask
The vice president and the president both urge voters to back Republican candidates in November, turning the convention into a direct pitch.
“Vance, Trump urge voters to back Republicans in the midterms”
Missouri lands at SCOTUS
The Supreme Court takes up Missouri's redistricting fight, a case about how the state's congressional lines get drawn.
“SCOTUS Missouri Redistricting”
Why the maps matter
Redistricting decides which voters sit in which district, so a ruling on Missouri's lines feeds straight back into the midterm math both parties are counting on.
Catch the full rundown
Up First runs about 13 minutes, with a transcript and an audio player, on the NPR app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music and iHeartRadio.
The main idea
Three threads run through the day: a national day of mourning, a party making its midterm case, and a Supreme Court case that could redraw Missouri.
