Viewers gather to watch a debate between Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump at the Angry Elephant Bar and Grill, Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024, in San Antonio.

The gap between pro-Trump and pro-Harris TV ads has narrowed in the past couple of weeks. Police confiscated more than 60 fake IDs on Long Island in an annual crackdown on drunk driving. Transit advocates await a plan from Governor Hochul on congestion pricing. And today is Indigenous People’s Day, officially recognized for the first time four years ago.
