Good morning! Today marks the 63rd anniversary of the first TV presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Oddly, there wasn’t another presidential debate until 1976. (See Photos)

DeSantis, Newsom to Debate on Hannity Show
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have agreed to debate each other one-on-one on Nov. 30 on Sean Hannity’s primetime Fox News show.
The two governors have been taunting and sparring with each other for months over the policies in each other’s states. Hannity first raised the idea of a debate in June, and both men soon signed on.
Newsom has insisted on no live audience, and there’s no word on that yet. “We want a debate, not a circus,” said a Newsom spokesperson.
Menendez Refuses to Resign from Senate
Sen. Bob Menendez, accused of bribery and caught with $550,000 in cash and gold bars in his home, insisted Monday that he was innocent and wouldn’t resign from office.
Menendez said the cash found by investigators came from his personal savings account, which he had been withdrawing for 30 years in “case of emergencies.” He didn’t address the gold bars also found in his home.
He hired lawyer Abbe Lowell, who is also Hunter Biden’s attorney, to defend him on the charges. Lowell successfully defended Menendez in 2015 when he was accused of accepting illegal gifts.
Four-Day School Week On the Rise
Many U.S. public schools are adopting a four-day school week to save money and help them recruit teachers, while parents worry about what to do with their kids on the off day.
Currently, about 900 school districts use a four-day week, up from 650 in 2020, out of a total of 13,000 school districts. It’s more likely in rural districts, but one of the biggest is Independence, Mo., where 14,000 students now take Mondays off.
While it leaves parents scrambling for daycare and an alternative to school lunch on the off day, school administrators say it’s definitely a draw for teachers. In Independence, teacher applications are up four-fold.
