The country is anxious about the outcome of the 2024 election amid increasingly bitter political divides. Students in Asheville, North Carolina, return to school on Monday after devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. The World Series heads to New York tonight for Game 3.

🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert, Daily Briefing author.  It's time to go on a spooky ghost tour.

Who is going to win?! 😰😩

That question is vexing Americans as a deluge of data and information attempts to predict either a future Kamala Harris or Donald Trump administration.

If the guessing has you stressing, you're not alone: More than 7 out of 10 U.S. adults say the nation's future, its economy and politics are a "significant source of stress" personally, according to a report released this month by the American Psychological Association.

If the numbers make you anxious: Experts told USA TODAY any prediction on Trump or Harris winning is likely flawed amid an onslaught of polling, surveys, bets and models in these final days.
So, how do we talk about this moment with young people? USA TODAY spoke with educators in swing states preparing students (especially first-time voters) to critically understand election information.
Keep calm and keep up with the campaign trail: The Trump campaign disavowed racist remarks by a comedian at the former president's MSG rally on Sunday night.

Asheville's students face an uncertain path of recovery and rebuilding after dozens of people are still unaccounted for amid widespread communication and power blackouts. Read more

UN Security Council to discuss Israeli strike on Iran

The United Nations Security Council is expected to meet on Monday to discuss Israel's attack on Iran, diplomats said on Sunday.

The meeting comes after scores of Israeli jets completed three waves of strikes before dawn on Saturday against missile factories and other sites near Tehran and in western Iran, Israel's military said.
