“Donald Trump has pulled it off,” Politico reports.
“Voters will go to the polls in November without resolution in any of the four criminal cases against the former president and Republican presidential nominee. A judge’s decision Friday in New York to postpone Trump’s sentencing for his criminal conviction in the hush money case until Nov. 26 was the last domino to fall. But for months, Trump has been rattling off unlikely legal victories — sometimes aided by his own appointees to the bench — and outmaneuvering federal and state prosecutors who pushed for quick trials.”
“It’s an outcome his supporters have often described as drawing to an ‘inside straight’: a calculated gamble to delay his criminal cases at all costs to ensure that he avoids accountability from the courts during his bid to reclaim the White House. But he’ll have to wait until November to see if the gamble pays off.”
