  • Good morning.

  • Democrats in Michigan spend the last weekend before the midterms in-fighting.

  • What the race for control of Congress will mean

  • for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his plan for military spending and the war in Iran.

  • It's hard to overstate just how dysfunctional Congress has been over the last two years.

  • The one thing that Congress has done consistently well for decades is legislate on national security issues.

  • They've managed to do this in a bipartisan way, but this year has been different.

  • And it was his first time running a 26.2-mile race,

  • but Sweden's Andreas Almgren is the men's New York City Marathon winner.

  • It's Monday, November 2nd.

  • I'm Cecilia Lei.

  • This is Apple News Today.

  • Ahead of Michigan's high-stakes Senate race, tensions boiled over within the state's Democratic Party.

  • The Democratic candidate is progressive Abdul El-Sayed,

  • but his opponent in the primary, the moderate Democrat Haley Stevens,

  • crossed party lines and endorsed the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers.

  • As you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul,

  • said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,

  • and he's right.

  • And that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.
