On Wednesday, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve met in Washington, D.C., and agreed to a 0.5% — or 50 basis point — cut to the federal funds effective rate. The 0.5% cut, which lowered the federal interest rate to between 4.75% and 5.00%, exceeded general economist expectations of a 0.25% cut. It is the first Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut since April of 2020.

The second Trump assassination attempt. On Sunday, former President Donald Trump was targeted in what the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has deemed an assassination attempt at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The incident comes two months after Trump survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The first Harris-Trump debate. On Tuesday evening, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced off for their first debate at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, PA. It was the second presidential debate of the 2024 campaign, but the first one since Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. It was also the first face-to-face meeting of any kind between the two (when they came on stage, Harris walked over to Trump, shook his hand and introduced herself).
