I am an official court reporter in a similar court in my state. My judge has NEVER had to clear the courtroom in a jury trial. A note about daily transcripts, the daily copy the court reporter puts out is a rough draft. While there may be some small errors or omissions in these dailies, the final transcript will be a different matter. Before a final draft, the court reporter will make corrections and fill in any dropped words, and it is the official record of the court and extremely accurate. I can't imagine the pressure this court reporter is under, but she seems to be doing a great job. Kudos to her, and kudos to the judge, and kudos to the rest of the court staff for taking control of the courtroom!

Last I checked between the 2 running candidates only one of them has a successful track record and he had to contend to a worldwide crisis/epidemic while the other can't find his way off the stage on a good day and shakes hands with invisible people and falls over thin air on a bad dad. One left office with a 1.4 percent inflation rate and the other is struggling to bring it down to 3 percent from the 9 percent he's had the majority of his term. Ones projected to lose every battleground state, with the exculsion of one and even that's debatable because it's within the margin of error and some polls are alluding to potentially losing in a landslide, while the other sits in a bogus trial that the longer it goes on becomes more and more of a clown show and its not because of the defense.
