What kind of man spends $100 million on the 2024 presidential race — only to become the top donor to two candidates, men who are supposed to be rivals?
Timothy Mellon is a scion of one of America’s great family fortunes. He’s uber-rich, infamously reclusive, and stubbornly litigious. He’s fascinated by Amelia Earhart and Patsy Cline, both of whom perished in air crashes. He’s a crusader against illegal immigration, has written that Black Americans are “belligerent,” and likens the social safety net to a modern form of “slavery” that Republicans must smash.

The recount, the subject of a recent HBO documentary and Meet the Press podcast, also proved to be an endurance contest for the reporters who covered it.

Washington — The ghosts of the 2000 Florida recount never left us. Consider Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who was one of the army of Republican lawyers deployed to Florida two decades ago. If confirmed to the Supreme Court, Coney Barrett will be the third member of the Bush 2000 legal team to join the high court after John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh. Or note the words of a federal judge in Florida who earlier this month, in a ruling about Florida’s dysfunctional online voter registration system, wrote: “I feel like I’ve seen this movie before.
