Trump and Biden return to campaign trail, 'Borat 2,' World Series: 5 things to know Friday
Trump and Biden hit campaign trail after combative debate
President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden will return to the campaign trail on Friday after their presidential debate that was far less vitriolic than their first appearance together last month. Nearing the end of an intense campaign that has once again divided the nation, Trump and Biden slammed each other’s records during the 90-minute slugfest, with both repeatedly demanding time to respond to each other’s accusations as they tussled over health care, the economy, racial tensions and the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump is expected to visit Florida for two campaign rallies while Biden will deliver a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, about COVID-19 and the economy.

World Series: Dodgers, Rays hope to take control
The 2020 World Series resumes with Game 3 on Friday night (8:08 p.m. ET on FOX) inside the "playoff bubble" in Arlington, Texas, and in front of a limited amount of fans at Globe Life Field. After the Los Angeles Dodgers won Game 1 in a rout, the Tampa Bay Rays rebounded in Game 2 to even up the series thanks to timely hitting and clutch pitching. In Game 3, Charlie Morton — who's become a dominant postseason pitcher — starts for the Rays against the Dodgers' Walker Buehler.

Snow could help tamp down wildfires in Colorado
Wildfires rage in Colorado, filling the sky with choking smoke, threatening water sources and creating apocalyptic scenes under orange skies, but officials say snow in Friday's forecast could help tamp down the devastation. The forecast called for winds of nearly 60 mph before cold and windy weather with the possibility of snow moves into the area. Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday expressed concern that some residents who may be sick with COVID-19 are attributing coughs, sore throats and other symptoms to the poor air quality. “We do worry that the impact on respiratory conditions from the fires could mask the spread of COVID,” Polis said. Normally, snow helps tamp down the devastation by this time of year, but drought across Colorado and warming temperatures have dragged out the season.

New iPhones are out, but you won't be able to wait in line
The new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models are ready for sale beginning 8 a.m. Friday, and Apple says it doesn't want people crowded together outside their stores — not in the COVID-19 era. The retailer says if lines start to form, Apple employees will hand out reservation forms with time slots for people to return later. When they do return, face masks and temperature checks are mandatory, and store occupancy will be limited to keep people from jamming together. Beyond these, Apple has two more iPhones coming in November, the iPhone 12 Mini — a smaller version of the iPhone 12 — and the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
