☆ JD Vance: Get ready for even more of Trump’s running mate after shaky rollout
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( Steve Contorno | Alayna Treene | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

CNN —JD Vance is making a second pass at introducing himself to America as the Ohio senator attempts to put his uneven rollout as Donald Trump’s running mate in the rearview mirror. Vance is also expected to begin holding news conferences with reporters as early as this week, the source said. At a closed-door fundraiser in Oklahoma City last week, Trump’s finance team was hoping the former president’s new running mate would raise $1 million. The campaign was well aware of Vance’s past criticisms of Trump and the deeply anti-abortion views he vocally defended. Still, people close to both Trump and Vance argue that America has yet to learn how effective the Ohio senator can be when in the spotlight.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed Wednesday that his 2024 Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, “happened to turn Black” a few years ago, saying that “all of a sudden, she made a turn” in her identity. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” the former president said. You have attacked Black journalists, calling them a ‘loser,’ saying the questions they ask are, quote, ‘stupid’ and ‘racist.’ You’ve had dinner with a White supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. You’re voting for the president,” Trump said.

When it comes to investing in sectors such as financials and energy under Trump, Bianco believes that size matters. A Harris presidency would benefit the renewable energy industry, according to Amanda Rebello, head of Xtrackers ETF sales at DWS. That's primarily because a Harris presidency would result in more stringent fiscal policy than a Trump one. The national debt is also likely to rise faster under a Trump presidency compared to a Harris one.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Monday that while he "probably" will debate Vice President Kamala Harris, he "could also make a case" for avoiding a face-to-face confrontation with his likely Democratic opponent. Before that debate, Trump had repeatedly challenged Biden to face him "anytime, anywhere, anyplace." But when asked about debating Harris, he struck a different tone. "We'll see if Trump shows," Harris campaign spokesman Michael Tyler said in a statement. While Trump told reporters last week he would be willing to debate Harris "multiple times," he also said that he was "not thrilled about ABC."

The emails show Vance, who had yet to embark on his run for the Senate, writing to his classmate Sofia Nelson, a Detroit-based public defender. In them, Vance denounced the GOP's embrace of Trump, calling the former president a "morally reprehensible human being," and expressed disappointment with law enforcement after the killing of Michael Brown, a Black 18-year-old, in 2014. AdvertisementIn 2015, Vance wrote that he was "obviously outraged at Trump's rhetoric," comparing him to a demagogue "willing to exploit the people who believe crazy shit." He also wrote in 2016 that "the more white people feel like voting for trump, the more black people will suffer. In a text message to a different former Yale classmate in 2016, Vance wondered if Trump could be "America's Hitler."

Read previewWith a few pen strokes, Donald Trump could make many of Elon Musk's problems go away. But Musk also stands to gain with a new administration controlling federal regulations. But with Trump as president, Musk wouldn't even need to dismantle the so-called "administrative state" to get federal agencies out of his way. As president, Trump could direct the Justice Department and other executive agencies to drop any actions against Trump and his friends' businesses, Gernhardt told BI. Existing federal laws from the EPA and Department of Interior could be relaxed, Blanchard said.

According to Prasad and other experts, Harris' approach to China would likely be similar to that of Biden. Trump's biggest diversion from Biden-era trade policy would likely be tariffs levied on China. The Trump administration reached a "phase one trade deal" with China in 2019, but few terms were honored and subsequent phases never materialized.

It’s just a decisive move toward America First on foreign policy.”Trump’s selection of Vance is one of the clearest barometers of the former president’s tightening hold over the GOP. Those included Christian conservatives, the business community, congressional insiders and traditional Republican foreign policy hawks shaped by Ronald Reagan’s vision of the US as the muscular leader of the free world. Instead, with Vance, Trump chose an acolyte and potential successor who could deepen and extend the direction the former president has set for the party. Vance has been most unequivocal in criticizing the internationalist approach to foreign policy centered on robust alliances. With the selection of Vance, Trump has broadcast his belief that he has conclusively won the internal GOP debate over all aspects of US interactions with the world – foreign policy, immigration and trade.

First Solar could emerge as clean energy winner under a second Trump administration, and investors should consider buying the stock on the cheap after its recent sell-off on "overblown" election risks, according to Morgan Stanley. But the risk of Republicans repealing the IRA is overblown, Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco told clients in a research note Tuesday. First Solar benefits from Trump tariffs Investors are missing how First Solar actually stands to benefit from tougher tariffs against China under a Trump administration, he said. Morgan Stanley estimates that the domestic tax credits currently represent about $101 of First Solar's $220.24 share price. Morgan Stanley has a price target of $331 for First Solar, implying 50% upside from Monday's close of $220.24.

☆ A 'Trump trade' hedge using options
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-22 | by ( Michael Khouw | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The reason this matters to investors is the so-called Trump trade. The stock market did very well following former President Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in November 2016, but smaller businesses, in particular, were beneficiaries. When we listen to some of the policy ideas that Trump has discussed, such as measures intended to protect smaller U.S.-based businesses, companies in the small-cap Russell 2000 index stand to benefit. Since the June 27 debate, the Russell 2000 has outperformed the S & P 500 by more than 6 percentage points. So, investors must acknowledge that if Trump's path to victory against Harris or a potential unknown pinch-hitter is less certain, then uncertainty must, by extension, apply to the Trump trade.

Democrats have taken an unprecedented risk in pushing President Joe Biden out of the 2024 race. Biden was well on his way to becoming a one-term president. Needing a way to upend the race, Biden's campaign gambled on scheduling the earliest major presidential debate in history. Democrats' crescendoing calls for Biden to step aside on Friday, with at least nine saying Biden should step aside in just one day, underlined how untenable the situation had become. As Atlantic editor Ron Brownstein has pointed out, based on future Senate maps, Democrats could be facing years in the minority.

Speaker after speaker repeated the claim that America was safer and the world was more secure when Trump was president. If past performance is any indicator of future results, Americans should brace themselves for more chaos if Trump wins. The theme of the second night of the convention was “Make America Safe Again.” Yet the public mustn’t forget that the murder rate skyrocketed under Trump.

If Trump wins, investors will need to cut through the noise and at least understand how he might impact different parts of the economy.
