The presidential election is less than 90 days away. This is what we’re watching.

Trump and Harris agreed to debate in September

Donald Trump suggested that he was eager to face off with Vice President Kamala Harris yesterday during a news conference at Mar-a-Lago, and he proposed three dates for debates. The ABC network confirmed that it would host the two candidates for a debate on Sept. 10.

The conference was the former president’s first public appearance since Harris became the Democratic nominee, and it signified an effort to recapture political momentum. His points were familiar: that Harris was weak on the issues of ****** and protecting the U.S. border with Mexico, and he described her as “a ******** left person” who was “very, very bad to ******* and very bad to ******* people.”

Trump also took personal shots, saying that Harris wasn’t “smart enough” to do a news conference and repeatedly mispronouncing her first name.

Ukraine’s surprise ******* on Russia

The local government in the Russian region of Kursk has declared a state of emergency as Ukrainian armored columns advanced as far as nearly 10 kilometers into the territory, capturing several small settlements, military analysts reported.

The surprise incursion, which Ukraine has not acknowledged, began on Tuesday and opened a new front in the 30-month war. Operating surreptitiously, Ukraine gathered a force for the ******* that Russia’s top general has estimated at 1,000 soldiers.

The ******** is the most concerted push by Ukraine into Russia since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The goal of the ******* was to shift the fighting — as well as Russian soldiers and weaponry — onto Russian territory and ease the pressure of Moscow’s offensive in eastern Ukraine, a senior Ukrainian official said.

What 10 months of a simmering border war costs

The steady conflict between ******* and Hezbollah militants in Lebanon has proved devastating.

For almost a year, both sides have been carefully calibrating their ****-for-tat attacks to avoid a larger conflict. But satellite imagery makes clear just how devastating the near-daily exchanges of ***** have been. The most widespread destruction has been in Lebanon, where thousands of buildings have been damaged or destroyed. Take a look.

In Gaza: At least 16 people were ******* yesterday after ******* conducted airstrikes on two school complexes in the northern Gaza Strip, the ************ Civil Defense said.

The war in Sudan, which has been raging over a year, has ******* many thousands of people and displaced millions more. Despite that, the brutal civil conflict has remained nearly unknown to most of the world.

My colleague Nick Casey traveled to Sudan and spent time with an elusive mountain army that has built its own state within a state — a vision of what the nation could become.

CONVERSATION STARTERS How Olympians get paid

By Sunday, all of the gold, silver and bronze medals will have been awarded, and that’ll be it for the Paris Games. The athletes will head back to training, and the eyes of the world will turn to something else.

But their showing in the Games gave some of those athletes a newfound stardom, and because Olympians aren’t paid like professional athletes in soccer or ********* football are, they have to supplement their income through commercial partners — or reality television. (Even a deal that promises $40,000 a year can be life-changing.) Here’s how athletes like Simone Biles, who was included on Forbes’s top 20 list of highest-paid female athletes last year, managed it.
