  • I'm Sumita Basu.

  • This is Apple News Today.

  • On today's show, U.S.

  • citizens say they're being wrongfully purged from the voter rolls in Virgin, Virginia.

  • How child care made it from being seen as a household problem to a societal one and a rollercoaster.

  • Game 5 ends with the Dodgers beating the Yankees to win the World Series.

  • But first, we talked yesterday about Kamala Harris historically short campaign and her closing pitch to voters today.

  • Let's focus on Donald Trump.

  • Historic in a different Way I think.

  • People don't understand actually that this is literally the first time since the Republican Party was formed in the mid 19th century that they've ever had one person be the party's nominee in three consecutive elections.

  • That's Susan Glasser at the New Yorker.

  • And it gives you both a sense of how much Trump has transformed the Republican Party into the party of Trump, but also I think it suggests that its future is very unclear whether he wins or loses this election because it has become so dominated by the sort of adulation for a particular a singular leader.

  • I sat down to talk with Susan Glasser and her sometimes collaborator and always husband, New York Times reporter Peter Baker.
