August was packed with major headlines. Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in Chicago following President Biden’s abrupt exit from the 2024 race. Just days earlier, she had chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Also last month was the release of Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, who had been held in Russia for more than a year on trumped-up espionage charges but was freed as part of an elaborate prisoner swap between the Biden administration and the Kremlin.
