Hurricane Helene's Impact No Longer a Focus

As the 2024 U.S. election approaches, efforts to galvanize the youth vote are evident at places like the University of Memphis, where issues such as the economy and international conflicts are pivotal.

The concept of an 'October Surprise' looms, which could shift the campaign dynamics unexpectedly in the final weeks before the election.
