Election day is on the fast-approaching horizon — and recent polls are showing Vice President Kamala Harris gaining ground. With under seven weeks to go until the polls close, party surrogates are searching for any boost that could decide the swing states battle.
Here's what you may have missed when newsmakers hit the airwaves this Sunday, September 22.
Vice President Kamala Harris accepted an invitation from CNN Saturday to debate former President Trump in an Oct. 23 face-off and challenged her opponent to another showdown before Election Day.
Why it matters: At a rally Saturday, the former president contended it's "too late" for another debate, noting, "Voting has already started"— but the Harris campaign has been pushing for another debate since the first one was held on Sept. 10.
The most important interest rate in the country isn't the fed funds rate, which was lowered Wednesday to below 5%, but rather the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which rose Wednesday to 3.71% from a closing level of 3.65% on Tuesday.
Why it matters: Most corporations and individuals don't borrow money overnight. When they borrow for long-term investments, including mortgages, the cost of money is priced off the 10-year Treasury yield.
More than 20 local Teamsters groups have parted ways with the national organization to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
Why it matters: That support represents one million members including councils in battleground states of Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, per the Harris campaign.
