Donald Trump launched his 2024 run in front of a crowd of people in Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday. Some people tried to leave the event early — but were stopped by security, two ABC reporters said. ABC reporter Jonathan Karl said Trump's just-over-an-hour speech was "low energy." But his speech — which lasted just over an hour — prompted some of his supporters to leave early, according to ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl, who was in the room. Notably, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump were not there.

WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (Reuters) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo pledged continued strong support for Ukraine during a meeting with the country's economy minister, including efforts by the U.S. government and private sector to help rebuild Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, the Commerce Department said on Tuesday. Ukrainian Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko briefed Raimondo at their meeting in Washington on Russia’s recent attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and Ukraine’s efforts to promote economic recovery, Commerce said in a statement. The two also discussed a U.S.-Ukraine infrastructure task forcebeing formed by the Department of Commerce, Department of Transportation and Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure, the department said. Her visit to Washington comes during congressional elections that could see President Joe Biden's Democrats lose control of Congress, with some Republicans already speaking out against continued U.S. support for Ukraine. "At that point, if public opinion on Ukraine starts to shift materially, I think the prospects for U.S. support for Ukraine follow and deteriorate," he said.

Stocks dipped, with the Dow sliding nearly 300 points, or 0.9%, in late morning trading. One stock in particular that had been surging in anticipation of a sweeping victory for the GOP got hit hard Wednesday. The market rallied sharply during the past three days following a historic surge for stocks in October. Still, as the midterm dust settles, investors may now shift their attention back to inflation and the economy. “Markets have performed remarkably similar during periods of a Republican or Democratic controlled Congress.”

☆ U.S. banks cut donations to federal candidates, up Democrats' share ahead of mid-terms
  + stars: | 2022-10-10 | by ( Pete Schroeder | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
Following the 2007-09 financial crisis when Democrats cracked down on banks, lenders have typically looked to business-friendly Republicans for support in Congress. And of the top-20 congressional recipients of bank PAC donations this cycle, 10 are Democrats compared with six in 2020, three in 2018, and one ahead of the 2016 election. Reuters GraphicsThe shift in giving patterns shows how banks are rethinking their allegiances amid increased political partisanship. To be sure, the party in power commonly enjoys a bounce in donations and banks are also spreading their bets ahead of a tightening contest, said Ballentine and the other sources. Nine of the top 10 recipients of industry donations are Republicans, including Representative Patrick McHenry who is likely to chair the House finance panel if Republicans win that chamber.

☆ Big U.S. bank CEOs to be grilled by Congress on consumer, social issues
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Pete Schroeder | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The line-up includes the CEOs of the four largest U.S. banks: JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon, Bank of America's Brian Moynihan, Citi's Jane Fraser and Wells Fargo's Charles Scharf. They will be joined by USBancorp (USB.N) CEO Andy Cecere, PNC Financial (PNC.N) CEO William Demchak, and Truist Financial CEO William Rogers, who run the country's largest regional lenders. That's a message the banks' executives, lobbyists, and trade groups have conveyed during a marathon of private meetings with key lawmakers over the past few weeks, the sources said. But bank executives are also wary of growing criticism from Republicans, traditionally allies who have pushed back against heavy regulation, over what they see as Wall Street's increasingly liberal leanings on environment and social issues. While executives faced some critical questions from Republicans on such issues last year, the pressure will be greater this time, said analysts.
