Election Day: The off-year edition |
Americans from coast to coast are casting ballots in Tuesday's off-year election, making their voices heard on controversial ballot measures, competitive governor's races and more.

In Virginia, voters will decide whether to hand a victory to Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin and his conservative agenda. And in Mississippi, they'll reflect whether Democrats have made inroads in the South. 🗳️ Election Day 2023: Follow our live coverage. |

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated Israel plans to hold a tight grip on the Gaza Strip after the war winds down. One month after the Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people in Israel, Netanyahu said his country "will have overall security responsibility" in Gaza for "an indefinite period" after its war with Hamas ends. Though Netanyahu did not elaborate, it was the first time he publicly shed light on his apparent long-term plan for Gaza, large parts of which Israeli airstrikes have reduced to rubble. 🔎 What we know. |
More updates: Israel remains steadfastly opposed to a cease-fire in Gaza until the more than 240 hostages held by Hamas are released, but short pauses to allow the flow of humanitarian aid are possible, Netanyahu said. 👉 Follow our live coverage. | Palestinian walk away after Israeli airstrike in Rafah, Gaza Strip, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023.

What everyone's talking about |
Syphilis cases in newborns on the rise |
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sounding the alarm amid an "unacceptable American crisis": Syphilis is surging in newborns. A report published Tuesday found more than 3,700 babies were born with syphilis in 2022, more than 10 times the number of cases in 2012 and the highest rate reported in 30 years. The agency is demanding that the health care system take action, noting that nearly 90% of cases in 2022 could have been prevented with timely testing and treatment. 👉 Here's what to know. |
More about the problem: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can be treated with antibiotics. Congenital syphilis is when a mother with syphilis passes the infection to her baby during pregnancy. It can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, low birth weight or death shortly after birth, according to the CDC. |
