Multiple events have allowed her bask in the national spotlight, from her entry into the race to the Democratic National Convention. But will she be able to sustain this political sugar high? The coming weeks will tell. Voters haven’t cemented their views on Harris, but Donald Trump has struggled to cast her in a negative light. And though Harris hasn’t faced any real roadblocks in her campaign (like obvious missteps, tough news cycles, hard-hitting investigations), “at some point, expect this to change,” [my colleague Nate Cohn writes](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRosMN0P0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wOC8yNy91cHNob3QvaGFycmlzLXRydW1wLXBvbGxpbmctYm91bmNlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjQwODI3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzMjc3OCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nOi1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTc2MjMzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmu3Q-zmaVizYkUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). “It typically does.” One thing the Harris and Trump campaigns share is their embrace of tariffs as a way to protect American manufacturing and workers, though their approaches vastly differ. Trump has floated the idea of an across-the-board surcharge on global exports, with an especially high tariff on China. Economists warn that such a policy could [badly damage international trade](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRosMN0P0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wOC8yNy9idXNpbmVzcy90cnVtcC10YXJpZmZzLXVzLXRyYWRlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjQwODI3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzMjc3OCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nOi1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTc2MjMzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmu3Q-zmaVizYkUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~), increasing prices for consumers.

Farhan al-Qadi, 52, is a member of the country’s Bedouin minority and the first Israeli Arab hostage to be rescued alive since the Oct. 7 attacks. Israeli soldiers and special forces appeared to have found al-Qadi by chance as it was combing through a tunnel network for Hamas fighters, according to two senior officials who spoke anonymously. He was discovered alone and unguarded, in a room roughly 25 yards underground. Ataa Abu Al-Mudaygham, the former mayor of Rahat, Israel, said al-Qadi had told him he had been held for months in more or less total darkness. “What he described was terrible captivity,” said Al-Mudaygham. “His eyes were still struggling to adjust from seeing the light.” [Two men in suits shake hands with the American and Chinese flags behind them.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRosMN0P0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wOC8yNy93b3JsZC9hc2lhL3N1bGxpdmFuLWJpZGVuLWNoaW5hLXhpLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjQwODI3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEzMjc3OCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nOi1hc2lhLXBhY2lmaWMtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTc2MjMzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmu3Q-zmaVizYkUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security adviser, and Wang Yi, China’s top foreign policy official.  Pool photo by Ng Han Guan A top U.S. aide is visiting China Jake Sullivan arrived in Beijing yesterday for talks aimed at showing that U.S. and China can manage their differences.

Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Catherine O’Hara and Burton assembled from time zones far and wide for a video call with The Times, and looked back at the first film, their ghost comedy’s afterlife and that iconic “Day-O” scene. “It was like falling back into it, like no time had passed,” Ryder said.
