MNI POLITICAL RISK - Trump Says No To Second Harris Debate

Daily round-up of news from the US.

Political RiskPolitical Market News

Executive Summary:

  • Former President Donald Trump continues his West Coast swing with a press conference in Los Angeles. Vice President Kamala Harris is still in the 'Blue Wall' where she will deliver remarks at a rally in Wilkes-Barres, Pennsylvania
  • Trump appeared to rule out the prospect of a second debate with Harris. If there is no second debate, it will be the first presidential election in more than 60 years without at least two debates between the two major candidates.
  • The Harris campaign issued a two-page blueprint for winning votes in rural communities, a key pillar of Trump’s strength in the Midwest.
  • Trump pledged to eliminate taxes on overtime pay, adding to a populist tax platform that also includes promises to eliminate taxes on tipped earnings and all taxes on Social Security benefits.
  • Two prominent nonpartisan political rating operations have shifted their ratings for the crucial Montana Senate race towards the Republican challenger, Tim Sheehy, reflecting a growing consensus that the GOP is heavily favoured to flip control of the Senate.
  • The conservative House Freedom Caucus has narrowed its search for its next leader to two candidates.
  • President Biden is expected to discuss relaxing restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons in a White House bilat with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer today.
  • The United States Trade Representative has finalised action on China tariffs following the competition of a statutory four-year review.
  • Poll of the Day: Harris maintains her lead amongst registered voters in an early post-debate poll.
