The past several weeks have been a political roller coaster. Former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt, named J. D. Vance as his running mate, and staged a triumphant Republican Convention. President Biden declined to seek reëlection, and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris, who quickly gathered the support and enthusiasm of the majority of Democrats. Harris then chose Tim Walz as her Vice-Presidential nominee, just in time for the Democrats to host what will almost certainly be a festive Democratic National Convention, which kicks off this week. For the cover of the August 26, 2024, issue, cartoonist Barry Blitt tried to gather all these narratives into one image: “It looks like things are going the Democrats’ way,” Blitt said. “But who knows what twists and turns lurk right around the corner.”
