Good morning,
Thanks for reading The Backstory, your weekly review of the best new work e=
manating from Puck.
It was another incredible week at our rapidly growing company: Matt Belloni=
answered the questions burning a hole in his inbox as Eriq Gardner identif=
ied a political angle to Menendez fever; Bill Cohan decoded James Gorman=E2=
=80=99s Disney succession smoke signals; and Lauren Sherman assessed the Ar=
naults=E2=80=99 Trump dalliance while Marion Maneker investigated the famil=
y=E2=80=99s taste in art. Elsewhere, Rachel Strugatz parsed the Lauder fami=
ly drama; Dylan Byers scrutinized the Washington Post=E2=80=99s latest cris=
is; and John Ourand unearthed another ESPN headache. Meanwhile, Tara Palmer=
i gathered the tea from Mar-a-Lago, Abby Livingston picked this
cycle=E2=80=99s congressional M.V.P.s, and Peter Hamby delivered some hard =
truths from The D.
Check out these stories, and others, via the links below. And stick around =

Silver Linings
On Monday evening, I took one final look at John Ourand=E2=80=99s excellent=
piece on the latest white-knuckling in Bristol, ESPN=E2=80=99s Streaming S=
queeze ( https://puck.news/espns-delicate-streaming-balance/?utm_campaign=
=3DThe+Backstory+-+LEADS+%2811%2F1%2F24%29&utm_source=3Dcustomer.io ), and =
then headed out from Puck=E2=80=99s airy lower Tribeca offices. I=E2=80=99d=
decided to turn down a pair of World Series tickets to attend a small dinn=
er party that my great pal Tammy Haddad, the most connected woman in Washin=
gton, was putting together uptown for Kevin Sheekey, the political mastermi=
nd behind Mike Bloomberg=E2=80=99s political ascent, and his Sheekey Daily =
Read tipsheet.
Early in my career, Kevin and I were
colleagues at Bloomberg LP. And the clearest distillation of his personalit=
y can be conveyed through a flag football game he organized between his org=
at the company and the division where I worked. Since Mike Bloomberg was m=
ayor at the time, we didn=E2=80=99t seem to have much trouble getting a per=
mit near the Great Meadow, in Central Park, on a fall Friday. But when we a=
rrived, it became clear that Kevin had told his colleagues to stay at the o=
ffice and instead stacked his team with members of the New York City Parks =
Department, all of whom were happy to beat up on the unathletic desk-dwelle=
rs from 731 Lexington. As I recall, we scored on our first drive, and then =
never again. Sheekey watched the whole thing from the sideline with a sligh=
t, indelible smile on his face.
I was excited to hear Kevin=E2=80=99s view on the election, but I also want=
ed to get the perspective of Nate Silver, another former colleague, now the=
presidential polling bard of our time. And shortly
after everyone grabbed a drink=E2=80=94Stephanie Ruhle, Gary Ginsberg, Tony=
Dokoupil and Katy Tur, the AP=E2=80=99s Julie Pace, etcetera=E2=80=94Kevin=
put Nate on the spot. For about half an hour, Nate waxed on about the poll=
ing data in the seven battleground states. Kyle Dropp, the incredibly charm=
ing co-founder of Morning Consult, occasionally chimed in to offer his own =
analysis. One of them suggested that the numbers were trending ever so slig=
htly Trump, the other ever so slightly Harris=E2=80=94the latest sign of wh=
at everyone at Puck already knows: We=E2=80=99re in for the most consequent=
ial nail-biter of our lives.
At long last, the most terrifying, interminable, and unimaginable president=
ial cycle of our lifetimes is coming to a close. And these past few days ha=
ve been tortuous and climactic in equal measure. As I=E2=80=99ve noted befo=
re, my partner Tara Palmeri has been uniquely plugged into Trump=E2=80=99s =
inner
circle and the mood fluctuations within Mar-a-Lago. A week ago, Tara report=
ed, Trump was ebullient about his electoral fortunes based on auspicious ea=
rly-voting data from key battleground states=E2=80=94Nevada, Arizona, and N=
orth Carolina, among them. =E2=80=9CIt hit Trump in the last couple of week=
s that early voting is a good way to win,=E2=80=9D a person with knowledge =
of his thinking told Tara for her characteristically excellent piece Trump=
=E2=80=99s Premature Early-Voting Celebration ( https://puck.news/trump-is-=
encouraged-by-early-return-voting-should-he-be/?utm_campaign=3DThe+Backstor=
y+-+LEADS+%2811%2F1%2F24%29&utm_source=3Dcustomer.io ).
Election data can change quickly, of course, as everyone watching the Times=
needle in 2016 remembers all too well. And as early-voting data has emerge=
d in Pennsylvania, the emotions inside
Mar-a-Lago have shifted based on the heavy initial female turnout. If you=
=E2=80=99re white-knuckling about Tuesday, I=E2=80=99d turn your attention =
to Tara=E2=80=99s latest piece, Inside Mar-a-Lago: PA Anxiety, Chief of Sta=
ff Games &amp;amp;amp;; Czar R.F.K. Jr. ( https://puck.news/inside-mar-=
a-lago-pennsylavania-anxiety-chief-of-staff-games-czar-rfk-jr/?utm_campaign=
=3DThe+Backstory+-+LEADS+%2811%2F1%2F24%29&utm_source=3Dcustomer.io )
But if you=E2=80=99re moderating your political intake, I=E2=80=99d love to=
turn your attention to a piece on a decidedly different topic. My partner =
Rachel Strugatz has brilliantly and obsessively covered the economic and in=
terpersonal saga roiling The Est=C3=A9e Lauder Companies, the iconic, famil=
y-controlled beauty behemoth that has seen its market cap sink from $48 bil=
lion
in the first quarter of this year to a mere $24 billion today. Earlier this=
week, as Rachel previewed a month ago, ELC elected to elevate St=C3=A9phan=
e de La Faverie to chief executive. In the process, he leapfrogged another =
internal candidate=E2=80=94Jane Lauder, Est=C3=A9e=E2=80=99s granddaughter.=
Jane will vacate her E.V.P. role but remain on the board to help guide the=
company=E2=80=99s transformation from a different altitude. The Last Laude=
r ( https://puck.news/what-will-estee-lauder-look-like-without-the-lauders/=
?utm_campaign=3DThe+Backstory+-+LEADS+%2811%2F1%2F24%29&utm_source=3Dcustom=
er.io ), Rachel=E2=80=99s excellent piece, articulates a broader metamorpho=
sis among our national treasures, as France refers to its most important ho=
megrown corporate colossi. Succession and transformation are the story of o=
ur time,
particularly at family-run operations, and precisely what you should expect=
from Puck.
Have a great weekend,

st connected woman in Washington, was putting together uptown for <b>Kevin =
Sheekey</b>, the political mastermind behind <b>Mike Bloomberg</b>=E2=80=99=

my career, Kevin and I were
colleagues at Bloomberg LP. And the clearest distillation of his personalit=
y can be conveyed through a flag football game he organized between his org=
at the company and the division where I worked. Since Mike Bloomberg was m=
ayor at the time, we didn=E2=80=99t seem to have much trouble getting a per=
mit near the Great Meadow, in Central Park, on a fall Friday. But when we a=
rrived, it became clear that Kevin had told his colleagues to stay at the o=
ffice and instead stacked his team with members of the New York City Parks =
Department, all of whom were happy to beat up on the unathletic desk-dwelle=
rs from 731 Lexington. As I recall, we scored on our first drive, and then =
never again. Sheekey watched the whole thing from the sideline with a sligh=
t, indelible smile on his face.<br/><br/>I was excited to hear Kevin=E2=80=
