Before we get into what Judge Merchan in New York did regarding Trump's sentencing, let's check Nate Silver's latest forecast just for kicks:
Geez. Silver's forecast just released. Has Trump winning every swing state and has his chances 24 points above Harris winning PA.

The Harris campaign now hinges on her ability to speak extemporaneously without a teleprompter during a 90 minute debate. https://t.co/GI3IcHC5zV
Things are looking better for the Trump campaign. We'll see what happens at the debate. The best guess is we'll see many examples of why the Harris campaign didn't want her speaking off script.
And in a completely unrelated story (well, probably not), Judge Merchan in New York has postponed Trump's sentencing until after the election in November:

Gee, what happened?
BREAKING: A judge delays Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case until after the November presidential election. https://t.co/BATemGLZfQ

From the Associated Press:
A judge agreed Friday to postpone Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case until after the November election, granting him a hard-won reprieve as he navigates the aftermath of his criminal conviction and the homestretch of his presidential campaign.
Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is also weighing a defense request to overturn the verdict on immunity grounds, delayed Trump’s sentencing until Nov. 26, three weeks after the final votes are cast in the presidential election.
It had been scheduled for Sept. 18, about seven weeks before Election Day. The new date is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
There's nothing about this case that hasn't been politically motivated, so it's only understandable to think this is just another example of that.
Trump’s sentencing in New York City has been delayed until November 26th, after the election. The lawfare against Trump has gone up in flames, one of the most destructive own goals in American political history.

"Backfire" doesn't even begin to describe it.
There goes the "Convicted" narrative and the entire Harris campaign election strategy 🤣

Democrats panicking as they realize that they actually have to beat President Trump at the ballot box now instead of relying on corrupt leftist judges to lock him up. https://t.co/GbshBVFaBK

'Merchan wrote that he was postponing the sentencing “to avoid any appearance — however unwarranted — that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate.”

A little late for that. 😆😄😄😆
If anything the sentencing has been delayed until after the election because it's been recognized that all this lawfare against Trump has backfired on the Democrats.
