TRUMP’S GARDEN PARTY — Tonight, DONALD TRUMP will do something he’s dreamed of for a long time and rally his faithful in the “world’s most famous arena”: Madison Square Garden. Yes, it comes at a heavy cost: His campaign has to pay more than $1 million. Yes, he is all but certain to lose New York. But for the Queens native, playing it big in Manhattan is perhaps the apotheosis of his movement, his raison d’être. (He’s talked about the prospect of doing it for three straight presidential campaigns.) More from NYT’s Matt Flegenheimer and Maggie Haberman

NEW NATIONAL LIKELY-VOTER POLLS — ABC News/Ipsos: VP KAMALA HARRIS leads Trump, 51 percent to 47 percent. Fascinating breakdown of key demographics … CBS News/YouGov: Harris over Trump, 50 percent to 49 percent. In battleground states, it’s tied at 50 percent apiece. … Emerson: Tied at 49 percent. … TIPP: Tied at 48 percent.

NEVER TRUMP FACES THE EVER AFTER — We’re nine days away from the end of the presidential election (and potentially a few days more away from knowing the victor). But within one of the defining political factions of our era, the possibility of a Harris win is already prompting an existential question: Are we in the last gasps of the Never Trump movement?

Never Trumpers are having probing conversations about that very question.
