If you want to explain to a puzzled left-leaning writer like the Atlantic’s Annie Lowrey why most voters this year rate the economy during Donald Trump’s presidency more favorably than that during President Joe Biden’s, you might start with a pair of simple charts. Lowrey said the Biden years have seen “the strongest economy the United States has ever experienced.” She cited an unemployment rate below 4%, wage growth higher “than at any point during the Obama presidency,” and “stronger pay...

It would apparently be a surprise to nearly half of American adults, but one of the U.S. stock market’s major benchmarks is on track to post its strongest 100-day start to an election year on record. With Thursday marking the 100th trading day of 2024, the S&P 500 SPX is up 11.6% so far this year — its best first-100-day performance since 2021, when it rose 11.7% over the same stretch, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said on Wednesday that she’ll vote for former President Trump over President Biden this fall.   “As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who’s going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border, no more excuses,” Haley, the former president’s ex-rival in the Republican presidential race, said at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank. “A president who would...

Former UN ambassador and GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Wednesday that she will vote for former President Trump in November, a major shake-up to the 2024 race. Why it matters: Haley's nod could give Trump a boost as he's repeatedly struggled to court her voters in recent GOP primaries, even after she suspended her presidential campaign. Haley has continued to draw about 20% in GOP primary contests, creating a warning sign for Trump's campaign. She also drew double-digit...
