WASHINGTON — With just two weeks left in the 2024 campaign, there currently are no plans for Vice President Kamala Harris to appear on the trail with President Joe Biden before Election Day, according to three Harris campaign officials and three White House officials. Biden last appeared with Harris at a campaign event nearly seven weeks ago, on Labor Day in early September. That’s a contrast to former President Obama, who has headlined a series of Harris campaign events, and former President Bill Clinton who has also been on the trail for the vice president. First lady Jill Biden has headlined multiple events for the Harris campaign as well and is set to hit the trail for her again on Wednesday in Nevada. White House and campaign officials say the president understands the strategy behind his downsized role in the campaign, even if at times he doesn’t like it.

The head of the International Monetary Fund cautioned on Thursday that high debt and low growth remained major impediments to the global economy. "When we look into the challenges ahead of us, the biggest one is low growth, high debt. "It is successful major economies that have done really well … and there are pockets in the world where inflation is still a problem," she said. Georgieva warned that international trade would no longer be the "engine of growth" it once was, highlighting the proliferation of restrictive policies among many economies. Earlier on Thursday, Georgieva also pointed to wider geopolitical tensions as one of the key risks to global financial stability.

Take the case of high school students without post-secondary role models to inspire them. For first-generation students and students of color in underserved communities, the hurdles have mounted as schools and students navigate complications with financial aid forms and the removal of race-conscious admissions. Since then, the organization has helped 42,000 underserved high school students achieve their goals through mentorship. Starting in students' junior year of high school, mentor pairs participate in weekly online sessions and monthly in-person meetings.

With AI reshaping daily operations of a real estate agent's business by automating tasks — from generating property listings to conducting neighborhood analyses — the agent's focus in day-to-day activities will shift. Serhant says AI won't virtualize relationships, but for the real estate agents who embrace the AI revolution — which he says is a necessary move to make — it will strengthen their relationships. The real estate industry is still in the initial stages of adopting AI and understanding remains low among real estate professionals, but the interest is there. But the survey also finds that real estate professionals have very low understanding of AI compared to other technologies. The FBI reported a big year-over-year increase in wire fraud cybercrime losses in 2023, driven significantly by real estate transactions.
