MNI POLITICAL RISK - Harris Scores Win w/Port Strike Agreement

Daily round-up of news from the US.
Fixed Income BulletsHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletEnergy BulletsBulletPower BulletsMarketsStoryForeign Exchange Bullets

Executive summary:

  • Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver remarks at a campaign event in Flint, Michigan at 17:55 ET 22:55 BST. Former President Donald Trump will host a town hall in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at 19:00 ET 00:00 BST.
  • Trump will appear together today with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) for the first time since 2020. The two have had a public feud since 2020, but Kemp’s support could be crucial for Trump’s chances of winning one of the most critical swing states.
  • Former President Barack Obama, arguably the most popular Democrat in the country, will hit the campaign trail for a Harris-boosting blitz of swing states next week.
  • The International Longshoremen’s Association and port operators agreed to end a three-day strike, derisking a major political vulnerability for Harris.
  • The International Association of Firefighters opted not to endorse a candidate in the presidential race, another blow for Harris as she seeks to shore up support with blue-collar workers in the northern swing states that represent her most likely path to the White House.
  • President Biden’s unguarded comments on a potential Israeli strike on Iranian oil facilities caused a surge in oil prices yesterday.
  • Harris is likely to take “a more pragmatic approach” to alliance building in Asia, departing from the Biden administration framing of democracy-vs.-autocracy that has alienated some Indo-Pacific allies.
  • Poll of the Day:Eight in 10 registered voters say nothing will change their votes.
