S03E05 – Marrying Kids, the 2024 Election, and Migration

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, Ryan and Tom chat about several topics. First, we examine the initiative to raise the age at which young people can marry to 18 and a push against this by Republicans in the state of Wyoming. We then turn to the 2024 Presidential election and Joe Biden’s continued insinuation that he plans to run for office. We consider whether Biden’s approach is helping to keep a media frenzy at bay. Finally, we discuss various developments in migration policy – the transportation of migrants from one state to another and of migrants inside the US to the Canadian border, as well as Biden’s move toward a stricter immigration policy at the southern border.
