But after a Supreme Court ruling in July granted the former president some immunities, he has yet to be sentenced. Justice Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial, already delayed Trump’s sentencing once, shortly after the ruling. He now faces [a decision that could alter American politics for years to come](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRovKYZP0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wOS8wNC9ueXJlZ2lvbi90cnVtcC1odXNoLW1vbmV5LXNlbnRlbmNpbmcuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyNDA5MDUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTMzNTQ1Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmc6LWFzaWEtcGFjaWZpYy1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzcwMDQmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmbPGSHaZj5CGqhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~): whether to sentence Trump as planned on Sept. 18 or wait until after Election Day on Nov. 5, as Trump requested. If Justice Merchan postpones the sentencing, the American people will vote without knowing whether Trump will spend time behind bars. If not, Trump will undoubtedly accuse him of trying to tip the election toward his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Macron is aiming to break the political deadlock that left France without an active government for more than 50 days. Barnier, 73, is a member of The Republicans, the country’s main conservative party, who has served in several ministerial roles. An adept negotiator, he led the E.U.’s Brexit talks and organized the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. France has been in political limbo since inconclusive snap parliamentary elections in July. Left, center and right political groups came out of the elections with large shares of the vote, but no absolute majority. Few parties are inclined to work together. What’s next: The appointment of Barnier has already angered the New Popular Front, the alliance of left-wing parties, which won the most seats in the election. It has vowed to reject Barnier’s government. The left has called for a large demonstration against Macron in Paris tomorrow.
