.@HallieJackson told @DEADLINE that ahead of Election Day, @NBCNews’ “north star is very much what’s happening on the ground with the data and with the results,” with the team “focusing on the results coming in, what they mean, what indications they can give us about some of the races that are still outstanding.”

Pope Leo XIV has requested a mail-in ballot for next week’s U.S. midterm elections, the Will County Clerk’s Office confirms to @NBCNews. The pope remains registered to vote in Illinois under his birth name, Robert Francis Prevost. His ballot, requested on Oct. 3, has not yet been returned. If he votes, Leo, the first American pope, would subsequently become the first sitting pope to cast a ballot in a U.S. election. First reported by @TinaSfon.

President Trump says in a post overnight that a White House staffer was "hit violently in the chest" by a golf ball due to "gaping holes" in the East Potomac Golf Course's netting. If you are that staffer: 1) Hope you're doing alright! 2) Would love to chat, please DM me.

NEW: John Thune's balancing act For nearly two years, Thune has led the Senate GOP through unforgiving terrain, working to advance the president’s agenda, while protecting the upper chamber’s independence. But with the midterms closing in, will it be enough to keep his majority?

Voter feelings about the economy could be the deciding factor in who wins control of Congress in November. @HallieJackson traveled to Iowa, Kansas & Nebraska to ask voters there how they feel the economy is, in their own words. youtube.com/watch?v=M9q8BEHq…

NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a 9yo rested her head on the table, a 6yo pretended to fly an airplane, and a 3yo played with the mic. Many in attendance didn't have an attorney — and a 13yo was ordered removed. A look inside, thru sketches.

CNN was allowed back into the White House on Thursday at noon.
Despite the court order overnight, CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters are still being blocked from entering the White House grounds today. Yet for Xi’s visit, members of the Chinese state media are present.
