British police say there is nothing to suggest a mass stabbing incident on a train on Saturday was a terrorist incident.

The Daily Signal - The Daily Signal Presents “Problematic Women” – Socialists, Spanberger, and Scandal Haunt the Ballot Box This Election Season
It’s Halloween weekend, and nothing is scarier than the possibility of a socialist gaining power over America’s biggest city.
On Tuesday, millions of New Yorkers will have the opportunity to choose the future they want for the Big Apple. Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and Independent Andrew Cuomo are all running to be New York’s next mayor. If the polls are even close to accurate, Mamdani, a candidate who has made promises to freeze rent and introduce government-run grocery stores, will be the next mayor of New York City.
In addition to the Big Apple, voters in Virginia and New Jersey are choosing their next governors on Tuesday.
Jessica Furst Johnson, a partner and co-chair of the political law practice at Lex Politica, joins “Problematic Women” this week to break down each election and assess who ran the best campaign.
Also on today’s show, President Donald Trump has just returned from Asia, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. We explain the big takeaways from the trip and what the future could hold for U.S.-China relations.
Plus, Americans have just celebrated Halloween. But is it “OK” to celebrate the holiday as a Christian? All the “Problematic Women” weigh in.
