Summary

Nikki Haley has officially ended her 2024 presidential bid and had a lot to say about the state of the economy as she bowed out. We’ll get into that and look at where the dominoes are falling in the presidential contest post-Super Tuesday. Plus, the money moves political candidates sometimes make to cruise to victory. And, how “rumor clinics” helped combat mis- and disinformation during World War II.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

- Statement about Nikki Haley’s exit from the presidential campaign

- “McConnell endorses Trump for president as Haley suspends campaign” from The Hill

- “RNC resolution to prohibit paying Trump’s legal bills is ‘dead’” from Politico

- “New York Community Bancorp to Get More Than $1 Billion Investment” from The Wall Street Journal

- “Steve Garvey’s Improbable Rise, Decades After His Baseball Heyday” from The New York Times

- “Tesla CEO Elon Musk says he’s not donating money to Trump or Biden” from CNBC

- “World War II ‘Rumor Clinics’ Helped America Battle Wild Gossip” from Smithsonian Magazine
