How did Spencer Cox, the Utah governor who’s built his brand on fighting polarization and extremism in politics, decide to endorse Donald Trump? I went to Salt Lake City to ask him.

Earlier this year, I set out to review every prayer offered at a Trump rally since he launched his 2024 campaign. I compiled 58 in total—and what I found was both revealing and unsettling.

"Of the various factors behind Harris’s sudden acclaim, one might be that her career has finally assumed the tidier logic of narrative." A very smart piece from @elainaplott, on Harris's evolving identity as a prosecutor: https://t.co/fhl4vn2nDV

"Trump could come in for more scrutiny about his health now that he has the whole shuffleboard court to himself." -- @MarkLeibovich:

“I don’t think Joe Biden has a ton of advantages,” Susie Wiles told me. “But I do think Democrats do.”

Trump's camp has long worried about the potential of a new nominee to tap into the structural superiorities of the Democratic Party.

Can Harris do so?

This is the @TimAlberta story that revealed the extent to which the Trump campaign was betting its own success on running against Biden—and in so doing, helped bring us to this moment: https://t.co/yQEFzUZW2Y

[McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins]

Donald Trump’s acceptance speech was a fitting climax to a Republican convention that spun wildly all week between partisan culture war and appeals to national unity.

"Trump has spent considerable time in his front-and-center box at the Fiserv Forum, observing many of the speeches with the intense stare of a gymnastics judge."

To hold public office in the United States today is to know that someone could very well try to kill you. How long can a country survive when its leaders live in fear of violence from their own constituents?

“Joe Biden is a gift,” says Susie Wiles, the co-manager of Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign.

Embedded in the Republican nominee’s campaign since spring, @TimAlberta takes us inside the Trump machine. @TheAtlantic

“What the heck just happened?”

A scene from the convention floor when some stunned delegates learned of Trump’s VP pick from… Mike Lee.

A truly fabulous dive by @TimAlberta deep into the Trump campaign's strategy: microtargeting black men aged 18-34, fixing the terrible 2020 ground game, and hoping desperately that Joe Biden stays in so they can keep clobbering him. https://t.co/VvHCs0akiS

[Tim Alberta @TimAlberta]

Starting on Super Tuesday, I tunneled deep inside Trump 2024 to study the people and priorities driving his campaign.

I found an operation that's been optimized to run a very specific race against a very specific opponent.

Now they just hope he stays in.

"Promoting one’s vice president is 'always hard,' Klain, who was known to be an advocate of Harris’s, told me then. 'Obviously, I wish, you know—you could always do more, and you should do more.'”

[Peter Lattman @peterlattman]

A friend asked where The Atlantic has been on the Biden-is-too-old issue. I said @markleibovich would like to have a word. From June 16, 2022: "Let me put this bluntly: Joe Biden should not run for reelection in 2024. He is too old.”🧵https://t.co/BnBzaHveBE
