Thank you for the comment. I share your interest in the 9/18 sentencing date. If it happens (and you are right to wonder if it will actually happen), it could further erode Trump's support.
Right now, things are looking up for Harris and democracy. I have my fingers crossed that will continue.
I also was largely unfamiliar with Walz even though I follow politics pretty closely. So far, he looks like a good choice. The Democratic party is unified and that is necessary for them to win.
