Expedia
While the attention has been on what the hiring of Expedia CEO Dara Khosrowshahi would mean for Uber, there is also the question of what happens to top spot at the travel giant.
Expedia isn't commenting, but we're hearing that CFO Mark Okerstrom is the logical and likely choice to take over the top spot. Okerstrom joined Expedia in 2006, a year after Khosrowshahi and has been CFO since September 2011. Before joining Expedia he was a consultant for Bain & Co. in San Francisco.

Why it matters: That's the same night Joe Biden's running mate (to be revealed next week) will address the nation. Clinton and Warren represent two of the most influential wise-women of Democratic politics with the potential to turn out millions of establishment and progressive voters in November.

President Trump announced on Friday he will pursue an executive order requiring insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions, something that is already law.
Why it matters: The Affordable Care Act already requires insurers to cover pre-existing conditions. The Trump administration is currently arguing in a case before the Supreme Court to strike down that very law — including its pre-existing condition protections.
