August was jam-packed with major headlines. Vice President Kamala Harris officially accepted the Democratic nomination for president in Chicago following President Biden’s abrupt exit from the 2024 race. Just days prior, she tapped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
Also occurring last month was the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who had been detained in Russia for more than a year over bogus espionage charges but was let go as part of an elaborate prisoner swap between the Biden administration and the Kremlin.
