By NICHOLAS RICCARDI, Associated Press Former President Donald Trump is stepping up his demands that the winner of the presidential race be declared shortly after polls close Tuesday, well before all the votes are counted. Trump set the pattern in 2020, when he declared that he had won during the early morning hours after Election Day. That led his allies to demand that officials “stop the count!” He and many other conservatives have spent the past four years falsely claiming that fraud cost him that election and bemoaning how long it takes to count ballots in the U.S. But one of many reasons we are unlikely to know the winner quickly on election night is that Republican lawmakers in two key swing states have refused to change laws that delay the count. That will make it look as if Trump is initially leading, even if that changes as more ballots are tallied later. Another reason is that most indications are this will be a very close election, and it takes longer to determine who won close elections than blowouts. In the end, election experts note
By JENNIFER PELTZ, ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) — Jurors saw video Monday of Daniel Penny gripping a man around the neck on a New York City subway train as another passenger beseeched the Marine veteran to let go. The video, shot by a high school student from just outside the train, offered the anonymous jury its first direct view of the chokehold at the heart of the manslaughter trial surrounding Jordan Neely‘s 2023 death. Prosecutors say the student’s video has never been made public before. Jurors also are likely to see a fuller version of another bystander video that has been widely distributed, this one shot by Mexican freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vázquez. He also witnessed the chokehold and quickly posted video of it to his social media accounts — but first cut out about a minute at the beginning where Penny and Neely weren’t moving much, Vázquez testified Monday. Prosecutors say Penny, 25, recklessly killed Neely, who was homeless and mentally ill. He had frightened passengers on the train with angry statements that some riders found threatening. Penny has pleaded not guilty. His

(NEXSTAR) – On the eve of the presidential election, the final batch of swing state polling from Emerson College and The Hill shows no clear favorite to claim victory in the Electoral College on Tuesday. Polling released Monday shows small edges in the seven most closely watched states, with neither candidate holding a lead outside the margin of error. The Hill reports that Trump holds an edge in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, while Harris has the edge in Michigan, based on surveys conducted between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2. The candidates were tied in polling of Nevada and Wisconsin. To break down what the numbers mean, Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, and a panel of Nexstar journalists from the swing states will join Chip Brewster Monday to discuss their expectations for the final vote. You can see the analysis at 2 p.m. Eastern in the player above. Election Day in the United States is now often considered election week as each state follows its own rules and practices for counting ballots — not to mention the legal challenges — that
NBC honored a request by former President Trump’s campaign for equal time on the network following Vice President Kamala Harris’ appearance on “Saturday Night Live” just days before Tuesday’s election. Harris performed in the opening sketch Saturday with Maya Rudolph, who has frequently played the Democratic presidential candidate on the program. Her appearance was revealed only hours before the show’s 11:30 p.m. Eastern air time as her plane, originally headed for a campaign stop in Detroit, was diverted to New York. NBC filed an equal time notice with the Federal Communications Commission, stating that Harris had appeared on the network for one minute and 30 seconds. Former President Trump speaks at a campaign rally Nov. 1, 2024, in Milwaukee. (Morry Gash / Associated Press) According to people familiar with the discussions, campaign officials for Trump contacted the network and asked for time. The request was honored and Trump was given two free 60-second messages that appeared near the end of its telecast of a NASCAR playoff race and during post-game coverage of a “Sunday Night Football” contest in which the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Indianapolis
Seema Mehta | (TNS) Los Angeles Times LOS ANGELES — Republicans are expected to retake control of the U.S. Senate, creating obstacles for Vice President Kamala Harris if she is elected president and a potential glide path for former President Donald Trump’s agenda if he wins the White House. The GOP’s edge is created by a number of factors. Several of the Democratic senators up for reelection were initially elected during years favorable to their party, such as the 2006 backlash to then-President George W. Bush or during then-President Barack Obama’s successful 2012 reelection campaign — and are facing headwinds for the first time. “The nature of the calendar of Senate elections almost always gives one party or other an advantage in every cycle. Democrats have a lot more seats up this year and so they’re working at a disadvantage,” said Dan Schnur, a politics professor at the University of Southern California, University of California, Berkeley and Pepperdine. “One other way of looking at it is that 2018 was Trump’s first midterm election, and it ended up being a very good year for the Democrats,”
As a musician, a producer, a composer and an executive, Quincy Jones created hits. But in a career that stretched across three-quarters of a century, what may have been more important about this giant of American music — who died Sunday at age 91 — is that he created the conditions for hits. Jones was a crucial connector of talent and repertoire; he had an instinctive sense of where artists should go to find success; he built a multimedia empire with an eye toward empowering people for whom show business didn’t always make room. His magnum opus was Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” widely agreed upon as the bestselling album of all time. But even that blockbuster merely scratches the surface of his cultural impact. Here, in the order they were released, are 15 of his essential recordings: ‘Soul Bossa Nova’ (1962) If Mike Myers hadn’t created Austin Powers — whose series of films employs this instrumental ditty as a theme — somebody would’ve had to have come up with a similar character just to take advantage of the song’s limitless swag.

Fluoride now recommended for baby’s first teeth 01:20 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent comments on fluoride are prompting questions about its safety and why it’s used in drinking water. Kennedy, a former presidential candidate turned Trump supporter who has long shared anti-vaccine views , said on social media Saturday that Donald Trump would push to remove fluoride from drinking water on his first day in office if elected president. Trump has previously suggested he’d put Kennedy in charge of health initiatives. On Sunday, Trump told NBC News he had not spoken to Kennedy about fluoride yet, “but it sounds OK to me. You know it’s possible.” In a post on social media, Kennedy claimed fluoride is linked to a slew of health problems. Why the fear over fluoride? Here’s what to know. What is fluoride? Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthens teeth and reduces cavities , according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It does this by repairing and preventing damage to teeth caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce acid, which in turn dissolves minerals in a tooth’s surface

Olivia Rudgard | (TNS) Bloomberg News When Cathy Fulkerson walked into her bank in Reno, Nevada, she was ready to cancel her credit card. Carrying a letter stating her concerns, Fulkerson explained to the manager why she wanted to cut ties: its investments in fossil fuels. “The manager was very nervous and very confrontational, and I was a customer. I was shocked,” Fulkerson says — though she was also quite thrilled. “It was obviously very uncomfortable for him and obviously made a statement.” Fulkerson is no righteous 19-year-old. She’s never thrown soup at a painting or glued herself to a highway. The 67-year-old, who recently retired from a career in higher education, is part of Third Act, a U.S. group that gets older people involved in climate activism. Ever since Greta Thunberg burst onto the scene in 2018, climate protest has been seen as a primarily youthful pursuit. Not only do younger people have the chutzpah to storm public spaces and tussle with police, they are arguably the cohort most impacted by systems they had no part in creating. In 2050 — the global deadline for net zero and the point by
By Aaron Clark and Zachary R Mider, Bloomberg News (TNS) Sitting in his cramped office in Paris, Manfredi Caltagirone admits that one of the world’s highest-profile efforts to cut methane emissions so far isn’t stopping the gas from escaping and warming the atmosphere. Caltagirone heads the International Methane Emissions Observatory, or IMEO, an informal police force that’s the tip of the spear in the global war against the potent greenhouse gas. His team at the United Nations includes researchers who scour satellite data to identify and sound the alarm on methane plumes in an effort to help nearly 160 countries that are backing a pledge made almost three years ago to cut pollution 30% by 2030. Since it launched a notification system in 2022, IMEO has told companies and governments about more than 1,100 giant methane clouds escaping from oil and gas facilities. Yet the number of releases that it’s verified have been halted “can be counted on two hands, maybe one,” Caltagirone said. “Action taken in response to the notifications is lower than we were expecting.” Tackling methane — and doing so quickly — has been declared a crucial priority
Chris Johnson | (TNS) CQ-Roll Call WASHINGTON — Donald Trump and his Republican allies have raised alarm that noncitizens who vote could unlawfully tilt the 2024 presidential election, but lawsuits over state voter registrations have shown the potential effect on the top of the ticket appears comparatively small. Lawsuits from Republican groups in two swing states where a margin of victory could be close, Nevada and Arizona, allege thousands of names on voter rolls are either noncitizens or have not been properly vetted. There are signs that the lawsuits, filed in Nevada by the Republican National Committee and in Arizona by a legal group led by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, could be used as fodder to question the results in those states and challenge the outcome of the election. Members of Congress have raised the issue, and election officials in some states have sought to take noncitizens off the voter rolls. Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, said the Biden administration’s policies have allowed more illegal immigration, and “Democrats are pushing for non-citizens to vote and influence the future of our country.” But studies from right-leaning think tanks are among reviews that have cast doubt on how often those
By TRAVIS LOLLER NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In 1989, Americans were riveted by the shotgun murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez in their Beverly Hills mansion by their own children. Lyle and Erik Menendez were sentenced to life in prison and lost all subsequent appeals. But today, more than three decades later, they unexpectedly have a chance of getting out. Not because of the workings of the legal system. Because of entertainment. After two recent documentaries and a scripted drama on the pair brought new attention to the 35-year-old case, the Los Angeles district attorney has recommended they be resentenced. The popularity and proliferation of true crime entertainment like Netflix’s docudrama “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” is effecting real life changes for their subjects and in society more broadly. At their best, true crime podcasts, streaming series and social media content can help expose injustices and right wrongs. But because many of these products prioritize entertainment and profit, they also can have serious negative consequences.
