Georgia’s Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that it will hear oral arguments for Donald Trump’s appeal to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from his election interference case after the presidential election has already taken place. In a new order, the court scheduled the proceedings for December 5. As a result, the case likely will not resume until well into 2025, if at all. If Trump is reelected to the White House, the case against him would be postponed until his term ends in 2029—or possibly longer. Earlier this month, the court ordered a stay in Trump’s election interference...

On Tuesday, the second day of the Republican National Convention, a slew of Black Republicans convened at the Iron Horse for a gathering they called the “New Mavericks.” Black Republicans have always occupied a peculiar space in their party going back to when the GOP was founded as an anti-slavery party. Many Black Americans feel that Republicans’ “tough on crime” politics focus on unjustly profiling and prosecuting people of color. Similarly, few have forgotten Donald Trump saying, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” among other unsavory statements about Black protesters and majority-Black cities. But during the gathering at the...
