Apple’s News app, a curated feed of stories available on your iPhone and iPad, has a brand-new addition for political junkies (or those who just want a quick moment to catch up on the Insanity of the Day). Today, Apple released a new section for News that allows you to more closely follow items related to November’s 2018 midterm elections. Whether you like it or not, you’ll be able to more quickly get a sweet, sweet hit of politics by pulling up News and tapping on the big “Midterm Elections” banner at the top. Presumably, this banner will exist from now until November, as there’s no clear way to just “Follow” the Midterm Elections section within it (at least, not at time of writing). According to Apple, the company will publish (human-selected) stories from The Washington Post, Axios, Politico, Fox News, Vox, and other publishers. The new section also features a selection of opinion columns called “The Conversation” that’s sure to stir your passions about various “hot-button issues,” as Apple describes. And an “Election Now” dashboard from The Washington Post gives you a bit more insight into the statistics of the various political races. According to Apple, the 2018 Midterm Elections section will persist through November. Just think, only five months or so of wall-to-wall coverage before we can get to months of wall-to-wall analysis and predictions for the 2020 elections. Sigh.

Hillary Clinton speaks with Ruth Mandel, Director, Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University, talking about politics, American democracy, her career and women’s role in the political movement at the Rutgers Athletic Center Staff Video/Bob Karp PISCATAWAY — Hillary Rodham Clinton had a clear message for voters during a talk she gave at Rutgers on Thursday: vote in the midterm elections and encourage more women to get politically involved. Clinton, the former Democratic presidential candidate, praised the Women’s March and March for Our Lives national movements, as well as the surge in the number of women running for office, as positive signs that voters are engaged and taking a stand for what matters to them. The university paid Clinton $25,000 for her appearance from an endowment fund, which is not funded by tuition or public funds, a university spokesperson said. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, who has represented the 11th district for 12 terms, decided not to seek reelection earlier this year. Continues under video Throughout her talk, Clinton highlighted this growing movement and pressed the importance of voting. “It’s not easy because most people don’t vote and most people don’t show up and most people don’t see it as the powerful tool that it is,” the former U.S. senator said. She talked about the hardships of being criticized by the media and being called “shrill” or teased for over-preparing for a presidential debate. “And we should be very clear that we still don’t have enough women in politics, and we still don’t have enough women in elected office, but it’s about time that women were allowed to be themselves the way men are allowed to be themselves.” Since President Donald Trump took office, there has been a reported surge in women seeking political office as part of the women’s movement. The organization, she said, also supports women running for public office. “The numbers of women who are running in these midterm elections and special elections that we’ve seen in the last couple of months is very encouraging to me," she said.
