Axios Finish Line

It's Election eve in Alabama and Senate candidates Roy Moore and Doug Jones have brought in big-name guests to headline their final rallies. Former NBA player and current sports analyst, Charles Barkley, an Alabamian, is appearing with Jones. And Steve Bannon is returning to rally for Moore.

Where things stand: Polls out of Alabama are showing wildly different projections for Election Day, with one from Fox News showing Jones leading by 10 points and another from Emerson College showing Moore up by 9.

2024 will be an election year like no other, as President Biden seeks re-election amid economic uncertainty, two wars and questions about his age.
