JONATHAN SWAN on Maggie: “‘It was the most competitive beat in American journalism, and she was, by any objective measure, the dominant reporter,’ said Jonathan Swan of Axios, widely regarded as one of her most able challengers. ‘I told JOSH DAWSEY’ - the reporter for the Post - ‘he ruined my afternoon.’” ‘It’s something I should have had,’ she said. How Dawsey ruined Maggie’s afternoon: “Haberman, 48, a wife, a mother of three, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the New York Times and an on-air political analyst for CNN, turned around and turned off her car and then trudged into Gargiulo’s and ordered a Diet Coke and a cannoli and stewed aloud over a story the Washington Post had just published - an advancement in the ongoing saga of the classified documents seized by the feds at Trump’s Florida club and home. Her phone pressed to her ear, Haberman got out of her car and started walking toward the door, oblivious to the beeping of a warning coming from her periwinkle Honda CRV. Kruse’s lede is the most Maggie anecdote ever, and we say that with great affection: “Late one recent afternoon, Maggie Haberman pulled into a parking spot in the lot at Gargiulo’s, the old-time Italian restaurant in Coney Island where DONALD TRUMP’s father used to eat lunch.

“With winds holding at 85 mph (140 kph), the National Hurricane Center’s update at 2 a.m. Storefronts were sandbagged to ward off high water levels in an area prone to inundation. “With all of South Carolina’s coast under a hurricane warning, a steady stream of vehicles left Charleston on Thursday, many likely heeding officials’ warnings to seek higher ground. IAN IS BACK TO HURRICANE STRENGTH - AP’s Meg Kinnard and Adriana Gomez Licon: “A revived Hurricane Ian set its sights on South Carolina’s coast Friday and the historic city of Charleston, with forecasters predicting a storm surge and floods after the megastorm caused catastrophic damage in Florida and left people trapped in their homes. Maggie Haberman on the curse of covering Donald Trump: “Even if I did move on, I don’t get to move on, because at this point I am so publicly associated with this story - so, until he stops being a story, I think I’m stuck.” | Leigh Vogel/Getty Images for The New York Times DRIVING THE DAY
