Well, the presidential debate captured one voter. After it ended, Taylor Swift told her 283 million Instagram followers that she’d be voting for Kamala Harris. She signed the message “Childless Cat Lady”, a reference to Donald Trump’s vice-presidential nominee, J.D. Vance, and his remarks about bitter childless cat ladies making all the decisions in the United States. If only they did…

Everyone agreed that the candidates were neck and neck. The media was in a state of hysterics: the New York Times had assigned two dozen reporters to cover this single presidential debate, which took place in Philadelphia in a silent and sometimes very blue enclosure, which looked like a drained tank.
