Three snap polls, conducted immediately after the debate, showed that a majority of those who watched the debate believed that the performance of the former vice president was superior to that of Trump. A poll of Fox News viewers, shared online by the president’s son Eric Trump, was in decided disagreement, with 74 percent picking the president over Biden’s 24 percent. A CNN/SSRS poll conducted among 585 registered voters who watched the debate found 53 percent believed Biden won, compared to 39 percent for Trump....

Johnson was a contestant on Hannah Brown’s Bachelorette season, which aired through July. He then briefly appeared on Bachelor In Paradise, though he didn’t find love there. According to host Chris Harrison, he was originally up against Peter Weber and Tyler Cameron, though it appears Cameron is out of the running due to his new relationship with model Gigi Hadid.

This is the fifth Heritage Classic game and the first since 2016. Winnipeg also hosted the 2016 Heritage Classic, which was a 3-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Calgary Flames won their lone Heritage Classic game 4-0 in 2011 against the Montreal Canadiens. Although the forecast might be gloomy, the excitement surrounding Mosiac Stadium in Regina, Sask. will surely heat up the competition on a windy night. What is the date and time of the 2019 Heritage Classic?...

The Red Devils remain 13 points adrift of their arch-rivals in the battle for domestic supremacy, with the English top-flight crown seemingly destined to take up residence at the Etihad Stadium. Conceding defeat in pursuit of that prize is not easy for United, but Jose Mourinho’s side do have other avenues to silverware open to them. One of those comes in European competition, with Herrera hoping to counter City’s success by adding another continental trophy to the Europa League triumph he enjoyed last season....

Walker looks set to be the latest Donald Trump-endorsed midterm candidate to be defeated as seven public surveys, including those published on the eve of the December 6 vote, showed him behind the Democratic incumbent. A Data for Progress survey of 1,229 likely voters, conducted between December 1 and 5, showed Warnock ahead by 2 percentage points (51-49), with more people holding a favorable view of the Democrats than the GOP candidate for Georgia Senate....

Early signs, however, appear to indicate the gaffe-prone Walker’s hopes for the Senate could be in trouble with just eight days left until Election Day on December 6. According to early voting totals posted by Georgia’s secretary of state’s office over the weekend, turnout is surging in Democratic strongholds while Republican-leaning districts have seen relatively low early voting numbers. Throughout recent elections, Democrats have typically been more prone to use early voting than Republicans, as GOP leaders have urged voters to hold off casting their votes until Election Day, citing election security concerns....

The ambitious purchasing goal targets the Tesla Model 3, a midsize, newer model from the company co-founded by Elon Musk. Hertz did not say what it would pay for the large stock of vehicles, but given the base price of roughly $40,000 for each Model 3, the rental company will likely spend around $4 billion, the AP reported. Hertz interim CEO Mark Fields told the AP in an interview that Teslas are already arriving at Hertz lots and that customers should be able to start renting the vehicles beginning in November....

OK, I’m making the last part up. As for the rest–none of which is found in Nathaniel Hawthorne–it’s all up there on screen in Roland Joffe’s stupefyingly wrong-headed movie. By turning Hester into a feisty feminist rebel and Dimmesdale into a hunky P.C. loverboy, it may sound as if Joffe and screenwriter Douglas Day Stewart have created a camp marvel. Be warned: you’ll giggle only if you can stay awake....

Ronald L. Kuby: I’m a civil-rights lawyer. I was asked to represent two of the defendants on the embassy bombing case, and I declined. At this point, now that I am in my 40s and have amassed a modest degree of competence in this area, I want to be able to select those for whom I work. I think some of the Islamist defendants in some of the cases have been ill-treated and unfairly tried, but I don’t think that has been the general situation, nor was it the situation here....

Ronette Hinkson filed a case with the State Division of Human Rights on March 11 against the New York City Department of Education (DOE) and the W.H. Maxwell Career and Technical Education High School after her 15-year-old daughter, identified as M.B., was beaten up after she received transphobic slurs and threats on social media. “This vicious physical attack on a 15-year-old child would have been prevented had the Department of Education notified my client that her transgendered daughter was being bullied at school on account of gender identity” civil rights lawyer David H....

Multiple sources familiar with the matter told ABC News on Sunday that Parnas—who played a key role in helping Giuliani investigate Ukraine matters and the family of former Vice President Joe Biden—has submitted the materials to the House committee. Although it is currently unclear exactly what the documents contain, the network has reported that some of the content submitted includes Trump and Giuliani. Sources also claim materials in both English and Ukrainian were received by the committee....

The suit, led by Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas, specifically seeks to have Pence reject the Electoral College votes from Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which all voted for President-elect Joe Biden, in an attempt to hand Trump a second term in office despite his loss on November 3. The lawsuit claims, without evidence, that such action is needed because of “substantial evidence of election fraud and other illegal conduct....

Late pain against Spain, but Southgate the right man for England The 46-year-old was appointed interim manager in July for the remaining four games of 2016, accruing two wins and a couple of draws, following Sam Allardyce’s departure. He has proven popular with the players and said after the 2-2 draw with Spain on Tuesday that he had proved his worth. And while the former Middlesbrough manager is the firm favorite to land the job on a permanent basis, Glenn says the FA will take its time in deciding the next manager to take the reins....

The Oregonian found that Mercy Corps executives knew co-founder Ellsworth Culver had been credibly accused of serial sexual abuse by his daughter. They still allowed him to continue working there for more than a decade. Tania Culver Humphrey, the daughter of Ellsworth Culver, said she told Mercy Corps leaders of the abuse on at least two occasions. As a 21-year-old college student in 1992, Humphrey went to co-founder Dan O’Neill, board chairman Raymond Vath and Portland attorney and board member Robert Newell....

And yet Hong Kong is still on top. Its stock market is near 10-year highs, and the economy has been growing at an annual 5 percent since 1989 –blazing fast for a city this wealthy. Property prices are expected to falter this year, but by last month they had doubled from their post-handover low. Singapore never filled those 40,000 visas with Hong Kong professionals. And after zooming upward, Shanghai has now settled into a secondary role as the leading financial center on the mainland itself....

Researched by RVTrader.com, the camping vehicle website compiled a list of the spookiest campgrounds to travel to this year, if you dare. 1. Braley Pond, Virginia At first, this camping site was used for fishing and hiking in the 1960s when it was constructed by the U.S. Forest Service. However, it turned into one of America’s most haunted campsites after many believe an old gang murder began the creepy occurrences many people experienced while staying at the campground....
