Chapter 1: What are the highlights of Election Day?
Hi, it's Steve Inskeep. And Michelle Martin. It's election day. Before we dive into the show, do I need to remind you of how exciting and exhausting this election has been?
Well, you get one more night of it, maybe a few. You can tune in for special coverage throughout this night on the NPR app in your local station. And we will be back here tomorrow and the next day and the next day if necessary, guiding you through it all with updates, reporting and analysis.
And as you continue to follow things here on Up First, we want you to know that there are two other ways to make sure you don't miss a development throughout the day.
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, don't know what to think. Look for the NPR Politics podcast a few hours later.
And consider this is the podcast where NPR covers one big story in depth every weekday evening. They will be all over this election. And as Steve said, the day after and the day after, if necessary.
You've got up first in the morning. Consider this in the evening, the NPR Politics podcast. And should we mention we're on the radio a lot as things develop anytime big stuff happens. And around the clock, election news survival kit from NPR News.
