Donald Trump was the first choice of 42% of likely Republican caucus-goers out of 14 GOP presidential candidates tested, according to the Iowa Poll. Photo: Charlie Neibergall/Associated PressFormer President Donald Trump holds a 23-percentage-point lead over his nearest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in the first state that will hold a Republican presidential nominating contest, according to an Iowa Poll released Monday. The survey shows that 42% of likely Republican caucus-goers say Trump is their first choice out of 14 different GOP presidential candidates tested, while 19% pick DeSantis.

Tim Scott has a window of opportunity in the Republican presidential primary race as the top two polling candidates face their own unique challenges. The expanding legal entanglements confronting former President Donald Trump and the stalled campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis could prompt some Republicans to look harder at alternatives before the Jan. 15 Iowa caucuses kick off the nomination process. Unlike some of the more combative candidates in the race, Scott offers an optimistic message, generally refrains from attacking rivals, and is almost universally liked among GOP primary voters who see him on the campaign trail. Now he has to convince them that they like him enough to support him.

A Kroger customer in Ohio was charged 10 times what she should've been for a delivery order. "My heart stopped because I'm thinking panic mode," McCormick told WCPO. After an hour of trying to contact customer service about the order, Instacart, which partners with Kroger to fill some of the grocer's delivery orders, canceled the order. "We understand a customer was overcharged for an order placed on August 9, 2023," a Kroger spokesperson told Insider. McCormick told WCPO Kroger had agreed to a refund and offered her a gift card worth $250.

NEW YORK, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs' (GS.N) global head of commodities research Jeff Currie, a prominent analyst who accurately predicted a surge in commodity prices in the 2000s, is retiring, according to a memo seen by Reuters. Julian Salisbury, chief investment officer of its asset and wealth management arm, is departing to join investment firm Sixth Street, according to an announcement last month. His forecast was borne out in what would become known as the commodities supercycle, during which crude oil surged to record highs in 2008. More recently, Currie revived his prediction for another supercycle fuelled by pandemic stimulus measures and rebounding economic activity. Currie joined Goldman in 1996 and was promoted to managing director in 2002, then partner in 2008.
