☆ After being asked what his biggest selling point is over Trump, DeSantis delivered a 3-minute ramble that avoided taking direct shots at the GOP frontrunner

Ron DeSantis passed up an opportunity to name one reason voters should pick him over Donald Trump. At an event at J&J Ag Solutions, an "average voter" named Ethan Masters asked DeSantis, "So what's your biggest selling point when I'm in the voting stage and it's between you and Trump?" He'd be a lame duck on Day 1 even if he could get elected," DeSantis said. Trump leads DeSantis by nearly 40 points in most recent polls of GOP candidates. Representatives for DeSantis and Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, sent outside regular business hours.

The question from Mr. Masters was a rare chance for the governor to make his single best argument in one place. I think he appointed a lot of duds to office, and it really hurt his ability to get his agenda done. True to his debate performance and campaign trail events, Mr. DeSantis never delivered a real punch. While Mr. DeSantis may not have had a breakout moment at the debate on Wednesday, Republican voters thought he performed best of all the candidates, according to a snap poll by the Washington Post, FiveThirtyEight and Ipsos. And his campaign said he raised more than $1 million the following day, the most its raised in 24 hours, apart from the day Mr. DeSantis announced he was running.

When President Donald J. Trump’s eldest son took the stage outside the Georgia Republican Party headquarters two days after the 2020 election, he likened what lay ahead to mortal combat. “Americans need to know this is not a banana republic!” Donald Trump Jr. shouted, claiming that Georgia and other swing states had been overrun by wild electoral shenanigans. He described tens of thousands of ballots that had “magically” shown up around the country, all marked for Joseph R. Biden Jr., and others dumped by Democratic officials into “one big box” so their authenticity could not be verified. Mr. Trump told his father’s supporters at the news conference — who broke into chants of “Stop the steal!” and “Fraud! Fraud!” — that “the number one thing that Donald Trump can do in this election is fight each and every one of these battles, to the death!”Over the two months that followed, a vast effort unfolded on behalf of the lame-duck president to overturn the election results in swing states across the country.

The list, compiled by Instagram scheduling tool Hopper HQ, is based on internal and publicly available data on how much each user can charge for a post on Instagram and YouTube. The Portugal forward brings in a massive $3.23 million per Instagram post, according to Hopper HQ, as he nears 600 million followers on the social media platform. "It's still shocking to me that the annual money made on the platform increases every year," Mike Bandar, co-founder of Hopper HQ, said. The highest earning influencer on Instagram, TikTok star Khaby Lame, is number 40 on the list. Ronaldo earns almost 10 times the amount Lame brings in for his Instagram posts.

NEW YORK, Aug 3 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The price of PayPal’s (PYPL.O) CEO hunt just grew by some $9 billion. An e-commerce boom during the pandemic lifted PayPal’s stock price to a record high of about $308 in mid-2021. PayPal fell short of the 22% operating margin forecast it told investors it would deliver in May, and it remains below its pre-pandemic 23% rate. The company’s shares were down 11% around midday New York time on Aug. 3.

Despite Trump’s legal woes, no rival Republican has shown much sign of narrowing his double-digit lead in national primary polls. The PAC, Save America, has spent more than $40 million on legal fees since the start of this year, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, which is more than double the amount the group spent on legal fees in all of 2022. The details of the spending on legal fees by Trump’s PAC were first reported by the Washington Post. “I have good friends who did nothing wrong who had their legal fees paid by Save America PAC.

This is the kind of chef we see Carmy transforming into, and the kind of chef we’re shown surrounding him. In another second-season scene, Sydney has a video chat with the pastry chef Marcus, who has gone to Copenhagen to hone his skills. Marcus receives his own lesson about ambition when he asks Luca, the chef he’s studying under, how he got so good. He came to see this as a good thing: “I could take that pressure off myself.

Trump himself is not expected to attend to the hearing, but Nauta – who is a bodyman to the former president – may attend, sources told CNN. In addition to the trial date, Trump and Nauta’s defense attorneys have already clashed with the Justice Department on timing of even initial procedural steps in the case. Tuesday’s hearing is aimed at discussing the schedule for those issues to be briefed and are usually “uneventful” affairs, Gonzalez said. “In sum, neither the amount of classified discovery in this case nor the timetable for its production is a reason for an indefinite continuance of the trial date,” the prosecutors said. In the case, Trump is facing several counts of willful retention of national defense information.

As well as the 100,000-plus crowd at Worthy Farm, 7.3 million people watched John's show on the BBC, dwarfing the 2.5 million viewers who tuned in for Paul McCartney's headline set last year, which was broadcast with a delay. "It's a very special and emotional night for me because it may be my last show ever in England and Great Britain." "Glastonbury certainly brought out the best in Elton John," said the Times.
