MNI POLITICAL RISK - Vance And Walz Face Off In Veep Debate

Daily round-up of news from the US.

Executive summary:

  • Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) and Senator JD Vance (R-OH) will meet this evening for an unusually high-profile vice-presidential debate. With Biden’s exit from the race and Trump’s refusal to commit to a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, tonight’s encounter will likely be the last opportunity for voters to see the two tickets in action on the debate stage. 
  • The prevailing view is that Vance has more to gain from the debate. His favourability rating is lower than Walz’s and his campaign has been littered with high-profile gaffs and ‘extreme’ statements that have turned off some independent voters.
  • Thousands of portworkers downed tools overnight, initiating a strike that risks a new round of supply chain shocks. The White House said in a statement: “Our supply chains and our economy are more resilient than they were when we came into office.”
  • The Biden administration issued new regulations yesterday to ensure executive orders on border security will remain in place beyond the presidential election.
  • Biden will visit storm-ravaged North Carolina on Wednesday and hinted at recalling Congress to pass an emergency supplemental spending bill.
  • The top Republican tax writer in the House rejected Trump’s pledge to eliminate the SALT cap.
  • The IDF criticised the US for 'leaking' intelligence on Israeli ground operation in Lebanon.  
  • Poll of the Day: Key issues dominating the presidential election may only have a 'minimal impact' on how Americans vote.
