What are the 10 biggest news stories from today?

I have enough to compile a list, but let me get a bit more confirmation or details on a couple of key stories by browsing major news sites.Here are 10 of the biggest news stories from today (Saturday, October 31, 2026 — Halloween, in the final days before the U.S. midterm elections). Rankings are based on prominence across major outlets like Google News, NYT, CNN, AP, and others; U.S. election-related developments dominate coverage.
