The response to the release of my book this past week has been an out-of-body experience. I will never forget how much help I needed—from family, from friends, from colleagues, and from sources—to finish this book, and how lucky I am to have received it. Thank you so, so much!

Vice President-elect JD Vance brought two of Donald J. Trump’s potential cabinet members to the Senate this week to shore up support for the president-elect’s picks, but he’s leaving with only one. nytimes.com/live/2024/11/2…

Here’s your 2024 election in a nutshell: The +15 Biden counties from 2020 delivered 1.9 million fewer votes for Vice President Harris on Tuesday, while the +15 Trump counties came thru with an additional 1.2 ballots for the former president. nytimes.com/2024/11/11/us/… via @NYTimes

Vance appeared calm in the final days of the tense race, having changed into a T-shirt & jeans from the dark suit and tie he had worn to events, joking about his impact on the “pet owner vote," and cracking open a Coors Light as the interview ended. More: nytimes.com/2024/11/04/us/…

“So in closing,” Mr. Trump continued, “I just want to say Kamala Harris is a radical left Marxist rated even worse than Bernie Sanders or Pocahontas.” He proceeded to speak for 17 more minutes. nytimes.com/2024/10/17/us/…

In AZ & PA, Harris has consolidated support among Democrats since replacing Biden as the party’s nominee. But Trump’s strength remains the economy, the issue primarily responsible for his political potency across battleground states this year. nytimes.com/2024/10/12/us/…

The debilitating self-doubt that nagged JD Vance as he graduated from high school was replaced with a thrilling new confidence that he discovered in the Marines while performing for the TV cameras as a media relations officer. nytimes.com/2024/10/03/us/… via @NYTimes

I'm told that Donald Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest child, is keeping Vance company right now in the CBS green room before the debate. More running coverage here: nytimes.com/live/2024/10/0…

.@MichaelCBender on @JDVance’s impact on Trumpism: “In this version of Trumpism 2.0, publicity is paramount, precision is passé and controversy is often its own reward. The approach is inviting new criticism — and winning over converts.” nytimes.com/2024/09/19/us/…

One of the truisms of Trump world is that the only permanent exile is self-imposed. And Mr. Lewandowski has always found a way to regain Mr. Trump’s trust and tunnel his way back in. nytimes.com/2024/09/17/us/…
