Former President Donald Trump’s last-minute effort to postpone his trial concerning hush money payments has been denied by the court.

Associate Justice Lizbeth Gonzalez issued her decision shortly after a half-hour hearing at the Appellate Division in Manhattan, a mid-level state appeals court, according to reports by Reuters.

Emil Bove, a lawyer for Trump, said during the hearing that his client was seeking to stay the case pending the application to move the trial on the charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Trump plans to accuse Harris of flip-flopping on policy positions, while Harris will call out Trump’s alleged history of dishonesty.

Polls show voters are still uncertain about Harris, making this a crucial opportunity for her to sway opinions.

Trump, meanwhile, will focus on inflation and immigration under Biden’s administration. The debate could shift dynamics in a tight race. #featured #trending
