New Jersey Transit’s train engineers have reached a tentative deal to end their three-day strike that had halted service for some 100,000 daily riders, including routes to Newark airport and across the Hudson River to New York City.

Train engineers in New Jersey’s huge commuter rail system are on strike, leaving its 100,000 daily riders either working from home or seeking other means to transit the state or cross the Hudson River into New York City.

New Jersey Transit train engineers rejected a labor agreement with management, raising the potential for a strike or a lockout next month.

People urging that all votes be counted demonstrate outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center where votes are being counted, Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020, in Philadelphia, following Tuesday's election.

Dozens of Trump supporters rallied outside Detroit’s convention center Friday morning, where election workers have counted ballots. In Atlanta, roughly 100 chanting Trump supporters gathered outside State Farm Arena Thursday as votes were being counted. Meanwhile, Facebook banned a large group called “Stop the Steal” that Trump supporters were using to organize protests against the vote count.
