Donald Trump’s latest legal victory in his hush money conviction case dulls the blade of Kamala Harris’s sharp attacks and frees Trump to campaign freely until Election Day.

It is just the latest miraculous escape Trump has survived during the tumultuous 2024 campaign for president.

A New York Democratic judge was responsible for Trump’s new win, delaying sentencing on his Stormy Daniels hush money conviction from Sept. 18 to until late November, after the election.

“We are now at a place in time that is fraught with complexities rendering the requirements of a sentencing hearing, should one be necessary, difficult to execute,” Judge Juan Merchan wrote in his four-page ruling.

“This is not a decision this court makes lightly but it is the decision which in this court’s view, best advances the interest of justice.”

The decision comes just days before the first debate showdown between Trump and Harris, and also comes in the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision giving presidents broad immunity for official acts while in office – a  huge victory for Trump.

The former president of course also barely escaped with his life after an assassin’s bullet nicked him in the ear.

Merchan’s decision takes away an expected line of attack for Democrats, who hoped Trump might be sentenced to jail weeks before the election. The thought of Trump behind bars had Democrats salivating, but it also could have energized Trump’s Republican base.

Harris, a former California attorney general, has repeatedly portrayed Trump as a felon – the type she has routinely put in jail.

Trump supporters have argued that any attempt to sentence him before the election would have amounted to election interference.

In his ruling, Merhan wrote that he is “fair, impartial and apolitical” – despite evidence that he is, in fact, a Democratic anti-Trump jurist.

Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in a case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that has allowed Democrats to repeatedly call Trump a “convicted felon.” But few expected Merchan to send him to jail on the relatively minor charges.

But even if Merchan just gave Trump probation or a minor sentence, it still would have been a huge victory for Democrats in their efforts to portray Trump as a law breaker.

The attacks on Trump would have been especially devastating in the debate showdowns, the first of which is Sept. 10. Harris now has less ammunition to take with her during that first debate.
