The move could drive oil prices up further, creating a headache for Harris' campaign. If Israel did strike Iran's oil, it would likely have two main targets. Then, on Thursday, he said the US and Israel were discussing whether the US would support Israel striking Iran's oil facilities. Biden has indicated there are conversations between the US and Israel about whether Iran's oil facilities are a legitimate retaliatory strike option. Back in September, global oil prices fell to the lowest level in almost three years, and the US has seen a historic year of oil production.

Selena Gomez's makeup brand Rare Beauty has catapulted her to billionaire status, according to a recent Bloomberg estimate. Gomez, who's publicly discussed her own struggles with bipolar disorder, launched it as a way to promote mental health in the beauty industry. Rare Beauty brought in a reported $350 million in sales last year, according to Business of Fashion.
