Start your week smart: Presidential race goes down to the wire, Russian offensive, Breonna Taylor case, TGI Fridays bankruptcy, murky jobs report

CNN’s 5 Things brings you all the news you need to start your week smart.

Feeling refreshed this morning but worried that you overslept? You didn’t. While you were sleeping, Daylight Saving Time ended and we fell back an hour. Here’s what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart. • Donald Trump is laying the groundwork to dispute the election results if he loses — just as he did in 2020 — baselessly claiming that the only way Kamala Harris can win is by cheating. Harris made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” and is expected to campaign in Michigan today, while Trump will hold a rally in Pennsylvania. Follow live updates.• Ukraine’s army chief warned that his forces are facing “one of the most powerful Russian offensives” since the start of the war as Russia claimed it captured more settlements on the eastern frontline. Russia has steadily been making gains in the eastern Donbas region.• A federal jury convicted former Kentucky police detective Brett Hankison of using excessive force on Breonna Taylor during a botched 2020 drug raid that left her dead. It’s the first conviction of a Louisville police officer who was involved in the deadly raid.• TGI Fridays Inc., the American casual dining chain, filed for bankruptcy protection. The company said fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic was the primary cause and it will use the Chapter 11 process to “explore strategic alternatives in order to ensure the long-term viability of the brand.”• The monthly jobs report was clear as mud. The US economy added just 12,000 jobs in October in a reflection of temporary shocks to the US labor market, with this snapshot bearing the impacts and ripple effects of two major deadly hurricanes and large labor strikes. MondayMore than 30,000 Boeing workers will vote again on whether to end a crippling seven-week strike. The International Association of Machinists union’s strike has been the most costly American strike of the 21st century, at $11.5 billion and counting. But the vote’s outcome is uncertain, despite a push from union leadership urging members to accept the offer this time around — and the deal on the table is not significantly different from an offer rejected by nearly two-thirds of membership just over a week ago. TuesdayNovember 5 is Election Day. If you have questions about how the system works and what to expect in the weeks to come, we’ve got answers. In addition to casting their ballots for president, voters in at least 10 states will determine the future of abortion access in their state after a nationwide effort by organizers secured several ballot measures aimed at restoring or protecting the right to an abortion — and some aimed at restricting it.
