America Is Tired of the Trump Show

One of these candidates is taking the pandemic seriously. Photo: Getty Images Most weeks, New York Magazine writer-at-large Frank Rich speaks with contributor Alex Carp about the biggest stories in politics and culture. Today, last night’s dueling presidential town halls, the Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court hearings, and the New York Post’s part in a likely Russian disinformation campaign.

Then again, Trump is not really running against Biden. His opponent is the coronavirus. He is flailing against a pandemic that is now surging as it hasn’t since late July, and especially so in regions considered his electoral strongholds. The Biden campaign has wisely never lost its focus on Trump’s cataclysmic failure to address the crisis. But even if it had, the morbid facts speak for themselves.

Among other things, Guthrie got Trump to implicitly confirm that he is more than $400 million in debt to unidentified lenders and that he paid income tax bills of $750. He also made it clear that he violated the rules of the first debate by not getting a COVID test. But the most remarkable moment was his refusal to disavow the QAnon conspiracy theory, which posits that satanic Democrats led by Hillary Clinton are running a child-trafficking pedophilia ring.

The Barrett confirmation rush may have some effect on boosting Democratic turnout. But its main political gift may be to the cash-poor campaign of Lindsey Graham, the Judiciary Committee chairman: The hearings gave him a week of free media exposure in the final stretch of his tough reelection battle against Jaime Harrison in the very red state of South Carolina.
