In the White House. However, Vice President Kamala Harris just caused democrats to suffer a major loss. The Teamsters Labor Union and its 1. 3 million members are not endorsing her. Im Harris Faulkner and you are in the faulkner focus. That Labor Organization announced it will not endorse a Candidate Period this time around. Here is what makes this particularly damaging for democrats. It marks the first time since 1996, nearly 30 years, that group, that important union with all of its members, has not backed a democrat White House nominee. So Kamala Harris has helped them gain that Check Mark in history. Teamsters president Sean Obrien spoke about the decision. We interviewed both candidates and we were seeking commitments from both candidates and we couldnt get solid commitments on our core issues. No endorsement sends a message to both parties that if they truly want to support working people, they have to reevaluate it and understand that nothing is given. It is earned. Harris the n

Wade was overturned? does that look like a party? that seriously trying to win the election.

Lets take you straight to the Federal Reserve in cnns matt egan. Matt, what does the fed say . The fed just delivered its first Interest Rate cut since covid and it is a big one, half a Percentage Point, this is a major milestone for the economy and it does signal greater help on the way for borrowers who are struggling with painfully i Interest Rates on stuff like credit cards, and Mortgage Loans to Small Business loans.

He missed his. I locked in my own assessment of the debate Via X just prior to delivery of closing statements before i might be swayed by anybody elses spin. Among my points, that trumps claims about migrants eating pets and abortions being performed at nine months would be a fact checkers dream, but not decisive. I wrote this, she won the debate bu
