Incoming 50 point rate cut to boost ratings.

A rate cut now would take months to show any tangible effect in the real-world economy. And would run the risk of elevating inflation expectations.

There is no scenario where inflation doesn't keep being elevated than the long term 2%. That's kind of what happens when the answer to everything is just print more money.

Josh Shapiro has been leaked as the VP pick for Kamala Harris after the retard mayor of philly posted a pre-edited video a few days too early about her support for VP shapiro
So yeah Kamala is all-in on trying to win PA, because Shapiro does absolutely dick all to help win any other state. It means she won't pick up any of the wayward latino vote, she won't appeal to blue collar works like Vance does, its just a pure 'bring me your state'. The best thing he does for her policywise is dull some of the criticism of her being too anti-israel

Don't forget she won't bring back any anti Israel genocide votes with a jew vp pick.
It sends a message stronger that Trumps MIGA speeches, that the US will continue sending weapons and fighting wars for Israel.

On the flip side, picking a staunch pro-Israel Jew as her running mate might come at tangible cost with Muslim voters and the "college left".

Gaining PA to lose WI, yeah maybe
Though I'm not sure how much vance or shapiro will actually help win their own states

Her husband is Jewish lol (any claims of being lapsed are just for show), she knows where her bread is buttered despite the faux aloofness when it comes to Israel and Palestine

Vance's performance was actually quite unimpressive in 2022. I don't think he's a particularly strong candidate or some sort of "blue collar whisperer".
But if Trump has any trouble carrying OH, to the point that Vance would make a difference, he'd be losing the overall election by quite some margin anyway.

Shapiro could well be the running mate who gets Kamala across the finish line in PA. But I would caution against this notion that he's uber popular in PA. A trend in recent years was that gubernatorial races across America saw impressive performances by the incumbent, or the candidate from the incumbent party. The only two exceptions were Hochul in NY and Newsom in CA. By and large, Americans seem to be quite happy with their governors right now. And Shapiro ran against an absolutely awful opponent in 2022. Aaand 2022 was a mini blue wave in the entire Midwest. It's very questionable if these trends would translate to a presidential race with Kamala and Trump at the top of the tickets.
