“Economic policy has become a centerpiece of both campaigns as Harris and Trump battle to win over anxious voters.” But Trump’s plan to “impose universal tariffs on all imported products” is not a hit with economists or Wall Street. Goldman Sachs has warned “that a victory by former President Donald Trump would likely lead to an economic downturn.” In contrast, the bank forecasts the Harris plan would provide a boost to GDP growth.

“Harley-Davidson (HOG) is the latest corporation to back away from DEI initiatives following a backlash kickstarted by activist and political commentator Robby Starbuck. An online campaign against the 120-year-old motorcycle company accused the firm and its CEO, Jochen Zeitz, of embracing a ‘woke agenda of the very far left’ that does not align with the business’s core customers. It follows similar campaigns against Deere (DE) and Tractor Supply (TSCO), which both shelved their DEI protocols earlier in the summer.”
