Voters, music and aging
CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes reports from Michigan on voters’ economic concerns ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Rosalía talks with correspondent Seth Doane about “Lux,” her fourth album, recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra and featuring lyrics in 14 languages. National Public Radio health and science correspondent Allison Aubrey also discusses aging, purpose and play, drawing on her book “Your Turn: How to Create a Midlife You Love.”
