Tuesday’s races were a quiet rebuke of Trump for many voters, AP Voter Poll finds
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump wasn’t on the ballot in Tuesday’s elections, but many voters in key races made their choice in opposition to him or considered him to be irrelevant, according to the AP Voter Poll. The trend that played out in the governor races in New Jersey and Virginia, the mayoral contest in New York City and a California proposition to redraw congressional districts. In both Virginia and New Jersey, about half of voters said Trump was “not a factor” in their votes for governor. Trump weighed more heavily on the minds of California voters, who voted on a proposition to determine whether to redistrict the state’s congressional seats in favor of Democrats.

Sherrill says she has a mandate as New Jersey's next governor and will focus on affordability
SUMMARY: Mikie Sherrill says she believes she has a mandate as New Jersey's governor-elect to fulfill campaign promises of making the state more affordable. And for now, the Democrat is dialing back on her criticism of Republican President Donald Trump. The congresswoman is getting to work setting up her new administration and she met with Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday as they discussed the transition. Sherrill says she's focused on affordability “because my communities are focused on affordability.” She's promised to use an executive order to freeze monthly electricity bills and wants to expand a program for first-time homebuyers.

California legislation could lead to better online privacy nationwide
SUMMARY: A new California law that requires web browsers to allow users to block all websites from sharing or selling their personal information could end up setting a standard for the whole country. Emory Roane is with the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, which pushed for the legislation. Roane says it will likely be easier for companies to put the service in place for the entire country, rather than just for California users. Mozilla's Firefox already has a setting that allows users to tell websites not to sell or share your data. Some advocates say they are going to keep pushing to expand privacy preferences for things such as connected smart devices and vehicles.

Democrats are hopeful again. But unresolved questions remain about party's path forward
SUMMARY: Democrats are hopeful again. Party leaders on Wednesday celebrated big wins up and down the ballot across deep-blue New York and California to swing-states Georgia, Pennsylvania and Virginia. There were signs that key voting groups, including young people, Black voters and Latinos who shifted toward President Donald Trump’s Republican Party just a year ago, may be shifting back. And Democrats across the political spectrum coalesced behind a simple message focused on Trump’s failure to address rising costs and everyday kitchen table issues. But just beneath the party’s relief at securing its first big electoral wins since last November’s drubbing lay unresolved questions about its direction heading into next year’s midterm elections.

The remains and stories of Native American students are being reclaimed from a Pennsylvania cemetery
SUMMARY: The latest round of exhumations of Native American students from a cemetery at the former Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania resulted in the remains of 17 students being repatriated to their families and tribes, the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. Most details about the lives they lived are lost to history, but records offer glimpses into their experiences at Carlisle. That’s where 7,800 students from 100 tribes were sent as the U.S. government systematically and violently evicted Native Americans from their lands to seize them for white settlers. Several hundred people attended reburials in October, including relatives who shared family memories of their loved ones.

No. 10 Notre Dame looking for a solution to give its kicking woes the boot in Navy matchup
SUMMARY: Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman has his team sitting at No. 10 in the AP poll and the College Football Playoff’s first rankings of the season. If the Fighting Irish intend to stay in the postseason picture they’ll have to kick the habit of missing field goals and extra points. It’s been a season-long problem that re-emerged in last weekend’s 25-10 victory over Boston College when three different kickers missed attempts. Freeman would like to give those problems the boot, starting with Notre Dame's annual game against rival Navy on Saturday.

SUMMARY: With quarterback Jayden Daniels out long term and the defense also ravaged by injuries, the Washington Commanders got one piece of good news when linebacker Frankie Luvu’s suspension for repeated hip-drop tackles was reduced to a $100,000 fine.

Ravens look forward after the deadline — Jones arrives and Andrews stays with Baltimore
SUMMARY: Dre’Mont Jones brought his sack streak to Baltimore. The Ravens acquired Jones in a deadline deal with the Tennessee Titans, and now he’ll try to provide his new team some much-needed help in the pass rush. Jones had a sack in each of his last four games with Tennessee. Trading a draft pick for Jones was the Ravens’ big move at the deadline. Tight end Mark Andrews remains with the team, even though there was speculation Baltimore’s depth at that position might make him expendable.

Falcons sign kicker Zane Gonzalez after releasing Parker Romo for costly missed extra point
SUMMARY: The Atlanta Falcons have signed Zane Gonzalez, giving the veteran kicker another opportunity after he was cut by Washington in April. The 30-year-old Gonzalez is replacing Parker Romo, who was released on Tuesday. Romo missed an extra point with 4:40 left in Sunday’s 24-23 loss at New England. Gonzalez gained notoriety with Washington last season as fans caught onto his obsessive-compulsive disorder. He kicked a game-winning field goal in the playoffs against Tampa Bay, but not until after he adjusted his socks on the sideline and fixed his hair. Gonzalez used his platform to share his story, listen to others and correct misconceptions about OCD. He has made 96 of his 120 field-goal attempts in six NFL seasons.

From a few to more than 350, children and parents ride together to school as a 'bike bus'
SUMMARY: In the New Jersey township of Montclair, a group bicycle ride to school has become a weekly community ritual. On Fridays, children and parents join a “bike bus” that goes to all the local elementary schools. The initiative started three years ago with a few people wanting to create healthy habits for their children and strengthen the sense of community among parents. One of the regular 5-mile routes attracted 350 riders on a recent morning. The nonprofit organization Bike Bus World says hundreds of similar groups exist throughout the United States and Europe, and in some other countries. Organizers hope the movement encourages elected officials to invest in safer biking infrastructure.

Colts welcome addition of All-Pro CB Sauce Gardner and are hopeful to see him on the field Sunday
SUMMARY: Indianapolis Colts receiver Alec Pierce walked into the locker room Wednesday, took a peek a couple of lockers away and found an old friend, two-time All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner. It was a reunion of sorts for the duo who helped lead the Cincinnati Bearcats to the College Football Playoff in 2021 and teamed up last summer to win a golf tournament. Now, after a stunning trade deadline deal, Pierce and Gardner again are teammates chasing the same goal — a championship. And the Colts have high hopes that Gardner can help solidify a glaring weaknesses, a pass defense allowing 244.8 yards per game.

SUMMARY: New York Jets linebacker Quincy Williams says he has lost his starting job on the team's defense. Williams, an All-Pro in 2023, was the subject of trade rumors leading up to the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday. He thought he might be traded after returning from the bye week.

Leading the NFL in sacks, Brian Burns has been a rare bright spot for the last-place Giants
SUMMARY: Brian Burns has been one of the few bright spots this season for the New York Giants. The edge rusher leads the NFL with 11 sacks, and he's two away from setting a career high. Burns has been one of the best players on the field from the start of training camp, and that success has translated into games. The 27-year-old feels as if he has prepared so well that he already knows the answers to the test when playing. Health has helped that, and so did Burns' experience enduring a lot of losing his first five seasons in the league with Carolina.

Aaron Rodgers and first-place Steelers confident in their passing game options after quiet deadline
SUMMARY: The Pittsburgh Steelers opted to stand pat rather than make a move for another veteran wide receiver at the trade deadline. That decision was fine by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who says he likes the group of pass catchers at his disposal for the first-place Steelers. Pittsburgh did sign Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad, reuniting him with Rodgers, whom he played alongside in Green Bay earlier in their respective careers. The Steelers are the only team in the NFL who have had nine different players catch a touchdown and eight different players with at least 100 yards receiving. Rodgers has credited the group for not being selfish, one of the reasons he thinks they've been successful.

Mel Greenberg marks 50 years since starting women's basketball poll
SUMMARY: Mel Greenberg started the women's basketball poll 50 years ago at the Philadelphia Inquirer. Initially skeptical due to the lack of information, he pushed forward with determination. He needed approval from the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, which was initially hesitant. After gaining support from coaches, Greenberg set up a network for voting. The first poll was published in 1976, and two years later, it was distributed by The Associated Press. Coaches voted until 1994, when journalists took over.

Pulisic to miss US team's November friendlies against Paraguay and Uruguay, Reyna back on roster
SUMMARY: Christian Pulisic will miss the United States’ friendlies against Paraguay and Uruguay, the next-to-last set of games before coach Mauricio Pochettino calls in players for his pre-World Cup training camp, while Gio Reyna is back on the roster for the first time since March. Midfielder Weston McKennie and goalkeeper Matt Turner were among the notable omissions. Forward Ricardo Pepi, midfielder Tyler Adams and defenders Joe Scally, John Tolkin and Auston Trusty are back for the games against Paraguay and Uruguay. Pulisic injured a hamstring in an Oct. 14 friendly against Australia but AC Milan said he likely will be available for Saturday’s Serie A match at Parma.
