And that’s just the beginning — donors write some of the biggest checks of the campaign season over its final two months. Timothy Mellon, heir to the Mellon banking fortune, has spent the most on Trump this cycle, at more than $125 million. Elon Musk, who owns the social media platform X and is chief executive of Tesla, also has ambitions to spend as much as $180 million in support of the Republican Party.

In a second state, Saxony, the party was running a close second to mainstream conservatives, according to projections. The results were seen as a worrying indicator for German democracy: The regional branches of AfD in Thuringia and Saxony have been classified by regional domestic intelligence agencies as “confirmed extremist” groups. All other parties have said that they would shun the AfD. That may result in the Christian Democratic Union, the main opposition party nationally, running both state governments.

Stone sculptures of Hindu demons, mythological temple guardians and Buddhist divinities were displayed this month in at the prime minister’s office in Phnom Penh, the capital. Many of the artifacts were looted in the 1970s during the chaotic reign of the Khmer Rouge. Over years of research and diplomacy, Cambodian officials convinced museums and collectors that they had been taken illegally, facilitating the return of more than 200 relics since 2012.
