“Kamala is weak, dishonest, and dangerously liberal, and that’s why the American people will reject her on November 5th.”The Harris campaign declined to comment for this article. “Well, I’m clearly a woman,” Harris told NBC News in her interview Tuesday. Before becoming vice president, Harris was elected three times statewide in California, first as attorney general and then as a U.S. senator. Polling shows younger Black men, while still backing Harris overall, have shown historic interest in the Republican candidate this election cycle. “She’s not concerned about being the first,” the Harris campaign official said.

▼ + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Kristian Burt | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Mattel and Hasbro decreased their end-of-year guidance ahead of the key holiday season as toy sales continue to slide during the third quarter. The lowered guidance comes before the important holiday season, where softened results could have major effects for retail companies such as Mattel and Hasbro. Hasbro cut 1,100 workers last December after weak sales in 2023 continued into the holiday season, while Mattel was carried through by the success of the "Barbie" movie. Aside from building block sets, Hasbro expects the toy market to continue to see a trend of softened sales into the holiday season. "Our expectation is the holiday season will probably continue that trend.

New York CNN —Target is slashing prices on more than 2,000 items, marking the second time this year that the retailer cut customer costs as it attempts to attract inflation-weary shoppers ahead of the holiday shopping season. Some prices have dropped effective immediately on a number of items, including home goods, beauty products, food, beverages and toys. In a press release, Target said it “routinely adjusts its prices to remain competitive in markets across the country” and the discounting will continue through December. In May, Target announced it was going to slash prices on 5,000 items but ended up surpassing that number, cutting prices on 8,000 products. However, there’s some good news for stores: Spending at US retailers climbed 0.4% in September from the prior month, according to government data released last week.

I spoke to voters and a mayor in Northampton, one of two bellwether counties in Pennsylvania. The mayor told me that politics are local — and the election will likely come down to grocery bills. Both Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump were in Pennsylvania on the same Monday, courting voters at a rally and town hall respectively. There was 46-year-old Michelle Kerns, who said she doesn't think Harris gets enough credit for easing inflation. I heard many iterations of "I'm not following the election" or "I'm sick of talking about it" on Monday afternoon.

Lonodn CNN —Some toymakers are “flooding” Europe with dangerous toys via online marketplaces, including magnets capable of puncturing a child’s intestines if swallowed and products containing toxic chemicals, according to an industry body. An Amazon spokesperson said the company has “proactive measures in place to prevent unsafe or non-compliant products from being listed” on its site. The EU has the “strictest toy safety regime in the world” but toymakers from outside the bloc are exempt from EU rules when selling their products via online marketplaces, TIE said. In the United States, too, regulators are concerned about the safety of goods sold online. In September, two officials from the Consumer Products Safety Commission called for an investigation into Shein and Temu over the potential sale of “deadly baby and toddler products.”

While you're doing so, it's also important to consider what counts as "earned income" for a child's Roth IRA. The maximum annual contribution for 2024 is $7,000 or the total of the child's earned income for the year — whichever is less. For instance, if a 16-year-old works at a coffee shop and earns $4,000 over the summer, that $4,000 qualifies as earned income. Earnings from a part-time job, such as working at a grocery store, fast food restaurant, or retail shop, count as earned income.
