Summary

The 2024 campaign cycle is in full swing. Pollster Frank Luntz discusses the candidate appeals to voters, and the first debate’s details that remain unconfirmed. President Biden announced a plan to forgive $7.7B in student loans, former President Trump will start accepting crypto donations, and challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is rallying retail traders on X. Plus, Urban Outfitters brands Free People and Anthropologie performed well in the last quarter, Vivek Ramaswamy has taken a stake in Buzzfeed, and CNBC’s Phil LeBeau reports that America’s cars are aging. Almost 9% of registered vehicles in the U.S. were made before 2000.
