CNN —Joan London knew when Tuesday’s debate began she would not vote for Donald Trump. Until this week’s debate in Philadelphia, though, she planned to honor her conservative principles and write in some other Republican. Her decision to back Vice President Kamala Harris was the most significant shift in the reaction we received from this group of voters during the debate and in its immediate aftermath. “Trump came off as irrational and desperate.”Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during the presidential debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on September 10.

New Hampshire voters will head to the polls Tuesday for a primary that will set up the matchup for one of just two governor’s races in presidential battleground states this year. In addition to North Carolina, New Hampshire is the only other swing state to hold a race for governor this election cycle. “I think that helps people in New Hampshire realize that Kelly Ayotte is a New Hampshire Republican, not a straight party loyalist,” Williams said.

It's possible this could be explained in "House of the Dragon" with the idea that the Three-Eyed Raven simply managed to change his appearance over time. Shortly after, the Night King and the White Walkers assault the cave where the Three-Eyed Raven lives. It's not clear whether Brynden/the Three-Eyed Raven will suffer the same fate in Martin's future books.

☆ Cats vs. Dogs? Cats Are Better. - The New York Times

It’s not easy not being a dog person. I once moderated a conversation for The Times between Susan Orlean and Julie Klam, both authors of books about dogs. “Everybody who reads my book is a dog person,” Klam, whom I also profiled for her memoir, “You Had Me at Woof,” said at one point. The very bad date in the story “Cat Person” has, of course, two cats. By contrast, I could see the appeal of dogs if they didn’t need to be trained, didn’t bark, didn’t need to be walked, didn’t shed, didn’t smell, didn’t require washing or grooming.

The emails show Vance, who had yet to embark on his run for the Senate, writing to his classmate Sofia Nelson, a Detroit-based public defender. In them, Vance denounced the GOP's embrace of Trump, calling the former president a "morally reprehensible human being," and expressed disappointment with law enforcement after the killing of Michael Brown, a Black 18-year-old, in 2014. AdvertisementIn 2015, Vance wrote that he was "obviously outraged at Trump's rhetoric," comparing him to a demagogue "willing to exploit the people who believe crazy shit." He also wrote in 2016 that "the more white people feel like voting for trump, the more black people will suffer. In a text message to a different former Yale classmate in 2016, Vance wondered if Trump could be "America's Hitler."

The campaign was jolted by President Biden’s debate performance, which led many Democrats to call on him to leave the race. Of all these events, the selection of Mr. Vance seems by far the least significant — at least for this campaign. Historically, vice-presidential selections play only a minor role in the course of presidential elections, and Mr. Vance is probably less likely than most to change the direction of the race. His basic political identity — a white, male, populist Trump loyalist — reinforces the core message of the Trump ticket. Mr. Vance will not bestow a small home state “bonus” in a swing state, either, as Mr. Vance’s home state, Ohio, is not competitive.

Even Trump, in selecting former Vice President Mike Pence, appeared to be trying to balance the 2016 ticket.

Vance of Ohio, Donald J. Trump’s newly chosen running mate, has made a shift from the Trump critic he was when he first entered politics to the loyalist he is today. It was a shift both in style and substance: Now, on topics as disparate as trade and Ukraine, Mr. Vance is closely aligned with Mr. Trump. Here’s a look at where the senator stands on the issues that will most likely dominate the campaign ahead and, should Mr. Trump and Mr. Vance win in November, their years in the White House. AbortionMr. Vance opposes abortion rights, even in the case of incest or rape, but says there should be exceptions for cases when the mother’s life is in danger. As he ran for Senate in 2022, a headline on the issues section of his campaign website read simply: “Ban Abortion.”That said, Mr. Vance, like Mr. Trump, opposes a national abortion ban, saying the issue should now be left to the states.

“I am not a senator, a governor or a former cabinet secretary,” J.D. Vance wrote on the first page of “Hillbilly Elegy,” by way of establishing his regular-guy bona fides. This is partly because Vance is, in fact, a senator, and also, as of Monday, the presumptive Republican vice-presidential candidate. This turnabout is notable because part of the legend of “Hillbilly Elegy” is that liberals were its intended audience and biggest fans. One is the large-scale movement of poor whites, among them the author’s maternal grandparents, from rural Appalachia to the cities and towns of the Rust Belt.

☆ Opinion | Trump Now Has ‘Carte Blanche to Do Unspeakable Things’
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-10 | by ( Thomas B. Edsall | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The combination of recent Supreme Court rulings on presidential power with the Democratic Party’s nomination crisis in the wake of Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance has significantly improved Donald Trump’s prospects — not only his odds of once again becoming president, but also of enacting a sweeping authoritarian agenda. Trump’s debt to the six-member conservative majority on the Supreme Court is twofold. First, their delay. By waiting until the last day of the court’s term to issue their decision on Trump’s immunity claims, the justices effectively prevented prosecution of federal criminal charges against him before the election. “By shielding Donald Trump from standing trial before a jury in two of his felony cases,” Michael Podhorzer, a former political director of the AFL-CIO, writes in a post on his Substack, Tipping the Scales, “Trump’s three appointments to the Supreme Court, along with the even more MAGA Justices Alito and Thomas and Judge Aileen Cannon, have already irreparably interfered in the 2024 election.”Second, the substance of the July 1 ruling in Trump v. United States has convinced Trump and his allies that they will face few legal obstacles if they pursue a radical reconstruction of government — a “second American Revolution,” in the words of one loyalist — if Trump regains the White House on Nov. 5.

Party leaders saw him up close, knew of his scandals and deranged behavior and complained about him bitterly behind closed doors. In other words, the leaders weren’t leaders at all. I understand an elected Democrat’s desire to defend the party’s nominee until he’s not the nominee. I understand that every word uttered against President Biden can be used by Trump if Biden stays in the race. Or do you view the vote for you as essentially a vote of confidence in you, as a person who can actually lead constituents rather than merely express their will?

☆ Supreme Court hands Trump partial victory in immunity case

Read previewThe Supreme Court on Monday handed former President Donald Trump a partial victory by kicking the future of his January 6 criminal case down to a lower court. But on a 6-3 vote, a majority of the high court decided that former presidents do hold some immunity. Before Monday's ruling, former presidents already held sweeping immunity from civil prosecution thanks to a Nixon-era case. In taking its time to craft this ruling, justices have essentially handed Trump another victory for his delay tactics. If he were to win the election, he would likely scuttle the January 6 case and Smith's other criminal case in Florida related to Trump's hoarding of classified documents.

Representative Bob Good, Republican of Virginia and the chairman of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, was fighting on Thursday to hang onto his seat, as his primary race against a challenger backed by former President Donald J. Trump remained too close to call. The contest between two election deniers, which has turned ugly and personal, was potentially headed for a recount that could drag on for weeks. Mail-in votes were still being counted, and Mr. Good said he could still prevail. Virginia does not have a requirement for an automatic recount, but if the winner is ahead by less than 1 percent, either candidate can request one. It was a rare instance in which both candidates in a photo-finish race had promoted the lie that Mr. Trump won the 2020 presidential election, raising questions about whether either would accept an adverse outcome in his own contest.
