toggle caption Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Will the real JD Vance please stand up? Vance has been a hard-charging MAGA warrior but on Tuesday showed up as someone more agreeable. Will people buy it?Walz was clearly less polished and more nervous on the national stage. He started off weakly, but was on better footing when talking about domestic issues, especially abortion, health care and Jan. 6.Vance laid bare that he believes people should not trust experts, only Trump. The decline in trust for expertise and the inability for people to agree on a shared set of facts has been one of the biggest problems in American politics in last decade.There were plenty of potentially explosive topics that weren’t brought up: childless cat ladies, military service, Ukraine and COVID.Does Trump reconsider another debate? Will he really want to let Vance have the last word in front of the last big TV audience? Sponsor Message

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to retaliate against Iran for a missile attack against Israel last night. Iran launched approximately 180 missiles, forcing millions of people across the country into bomb shelters. This comes after Israel's recent killing of Hasan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
🎧 NPR’s Hadeel Al-Shalchi, who is in Tel Aviv, tells Up First that the streets fell eerily quiet after the U.S. warned Israel about an Iranian threat and the Israeli military confirmed it. Hours later, air raid sirens wailed. Netanyahu remarked that Israel would attack whoever attacks them and thanked the U.S. for its support. American naval destroyers, alongside Israel, shot down the missiles. The Iranian mission to the United Nations said if Israel retaliated there would be a “crushing response.”
President Biden visits North Carolina today to assess the slow recovery in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The death toll continues to climb across the flood-stricken southeast. Tens of thousands still lack electricity, water, cell service or all three.
Sponsor Message 🎧 The hurricane hit multiple states across hundreds of miles, putting a strain on resources and staff, NPR’s Jennifer Ludden says. Several thousand federal responders are on the ground, and hundreds more are on the way to provide assistance, according to the Biden administration. First responders are urging people to be patient, but residents are frustrated because they’re not fully aware of everything happening behind the scenes. Some feel they have been left to cope alone. A search and rescue official told Ludden yesterday that the disaster is so massive that the only way to get through it is if neighbors help neighbors. Power is being restored and cellphone towers are being repaired, but it could be weeks before the water comes back on. Today's listen
