Wall St ends higher as investors return to megacaps
Reuters Videos2 hours agoSTORY: Wall Street's main indexes closed higher on Monday as investors returned to megacap growth stocks, helping both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq recover from their worst weekly performance since April. The Dow added three tenths of one percent, the S&P 500 climbed more than one percent, and the Nasdaq rose more than one and one half percent. Shares of Nvidia finished up after Reuters reported the chipmaker was working on a version of its new flagship AI chips for the Chinese market that would be compliant with current U.S. export controls. Also influencing markets was U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection campaign, according to Banríon Capital Management Founder and CEO Shana Orczyk Sissel. “As far as the markets go today, I think that it's broadly reacting to the news over the weekend of President Biden stepping aside and endorsing Vice President Harris as the nominee for the Democrats in the presidential election. This is a big deal because markets like certainty, they don't like uncertainty. And there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding him as the nominee. So I think broadly speaking, you're seeing a reaction to that news in market moves today.” Sissel added that he still thinks the market expects Trump to win in November. Stocks on the move included cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike which plunged about 13.5% after a software update from the company sparked Friday's global tech outage. Shares fell 11% on Friday. And Verizon Communications fell six percent after a second-quarter revenue miss.

- 1:34Harris calls Biden's record 'unmatched in modern history'Reuters VideosSTORY: :: Harris says Biden has 'surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms' :: Kamala Harris U.S. Vice President "Joe Biden's legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history. In one term, he has already - yes you may clap - in one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office." :: July 22, 2024 :: Washington, D.C. Harris did not specifically refer to her new status as the leading Democratic candidate for president, after Biden announced on Sunday he was stepping aside under growing pressure from fellow Democrats. She said in a post on X that she would visit what had been the Biden campaign headquarters in Delaware - now the Harris campaign headquarters - on Monday afternoon. She said Biden, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week, was feeling better. Campaign officials and allies have already made hundreds of calls on her behalf, urging delegates to next month's Democratic Party convention to join in nominating her for president in the Nov. 5 election against Republican Donald Trump. Virtually all of the prominent Democrats who had been seen as potential challengers to Harris have lined up behind her, including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.7 hours ago
- 2:26MSF warns of 'horrendous' violence in SudanReuters VideosSTORY: Sudanese civilians have suffered horrendous levels of violence, Medecins Sans Frontieres said on Monday (July 22), during more than a year of war. :: MSF :: Zalingei, Darfur, Sudan :: March 27, 2024 They have, the medical aid group said, faced repeated attacks, abuse and exploitation by both sides. And the physical and mental wounds have been exacerbated, according to an MSF report, by the collapse of Sudan's healthcare system and a lack of international humanitarian response. Vickie Hawkins is General Director for MSF Netherlands. "Since May, MSF-supported hospitals or premises have been hit by shelling or air strikes at least five times in Omdurman, Khartoum and al-Fasher, leading to the deaths of health workers and patients including children." Hawkins said sexual and gender-based violence is pervasive... "... but critically under-reported due to the stigma, silence for fear of retaliation and the void of services and confidential spaces." Thousands of war-wounded have been treated at facilities MSF supports, Hawkins said, including for gunshot, shrapnel and stab wounds. :: MSF :: Zamzam camp, Darfur, Sudan :: File War erupted in April 2023 between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. It was triggered by a plan to integrate the army and the paramilitary forces as a part of a transition to free elections following the overthrow of long-ruling autocrat Omar al-Bashir in 2019. There is no accurate data on how many have been killed, but death toll estimates run into the tens of thousands. The MSF report accused the warring parties of a "blatant disregard" for human life and international law. Neither side could be immediately reached for comment. MSF called on the two sides to cease attacks on residential areas, allow safe passage and protect infrastructure from further destruction and looting. It also urged them to stop what it said were targeted forms of violence and abuse, including ethnic and sexual violence.9 hours ago

While Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner with Biden's support, the Democratic National Convention is less than a month away and an open convention is still possible if there are challengers. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump said Biden dropping out won't change how he runs his campaign.11 hours ago
- 2:16Kamala Harris fires up 2024 presidential campaignReuters VideosSTORY: :: File Vice President Kamala Harris hit the ground running with the launch of her 2024 presidential campaign on Sunday. Campaign officials and allies made hundreds of calls on her behalf soon after President Joe Biden said he was pulling out of the race. They urged delegates to nominate her for president at next month's Democratic Party Convention... ...and Harris pledged to unite the nation in her bid against Republican nominee Donald Trump. Biden said he would remain in the presidency until his term ends in January next year, while endorsing Harris to run for president in his place. :: File It leaves his replacement with less than four months to wage a campaign before the November election. By late Sunday Harris had already locked in the support of all the Democrats' state party chairs, according to several on a conference call. Her prospects in November are less clear. Shortly after Biden’s announcement, Trump told CNN "Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been." However, polling immediately after last week's assassination attempt against Trump showed that Harris performs no better or worse statistically than Biden had done against the GOP nominee. Still, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute Darrell M. West thinks the shakeup will help the Democrats catch up in key swing states. “The polls have actually been moving in favor of Donald Trump over the last few weeks. I think her likely nomination will put Democrats in a strong position. She'll be very competitive in those crucial Midwestern states, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. And I think she also will put some of those other swing states that have started to slip away, places like Arizona, back in very strong contention for Democrats.” Several prominent Democrats, including potential Harris challengers such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, immediately backed the vice president. Despite that early show of support, a handful of the party's biggest names, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama both praised Biden’s decision, but did not announce endorsements. Two other potential challengers - Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear - made no mention of the vice president in their statements. Harris is due to speak from the White House South Lawn Monday morning.15 hours ago

- 1:12Howard students 'excited' about a Harris presidencyReuters VideosSTORY: ::Washington, D.C. ::July 21, 2024 :: Students at Kamala Harris' alma mater Howard University 'excited' at her prospects "I was actually very excited. Just the thought of her just becoming president, especially being from Howard and being the first Black woman president potentially. It was just very exciting for me. And hopefully she can get to the election, hopefully she could win the election in November." "I am excited for a much younger candidate. I think myself and others were kind of losing faith and Joe Biden's ability to serve another four years. You know, the Biden administration wasn't my favorite. So I do feel like Harris I'm not thrilled, thrilled because I feel like in some ways it will be more of the same. However, I do think it's a positive direction for the party." "I hope they look at the person and not just she's a woman and she's a woman of color. I look at her record and how she worked with Joe Biden and she was the vice president. And all the years that have accumulated who she is. And I hope they can look past anything else and look at that. But the world we live in, some people will and some won't. And I hope it's not enough people that stand away or use that as an obstacle for her to get in office." A former attorney general of California and former U.S. senator, Harris ran unsuccessfully for president against Biden in 2020. Biden, who at 81 is the oldest person ever to have occupied the Oval Office, said he would remain in the presidency until his term ended on Jan. 20, 2025, and would address the nation this week.19 hours ago

- 2:42With Harris, Democrats would bet against US history of sexism, racismReuters VideosSTORY: The Democratic party will be taking a historic gamble if it turns to Vice President Kamala Harris to become its presidential candidate. "Do we believe in freedom? Do we believe in opportunity? Do we believe in the promise of America?" It would be betting that a Black woman can overcome racism, sexism and her own missteps as a politician to defeat Republican Donald Trump. The focus turns to Harris after President Joe Biden, in a historic move, ended his reelection campaign on Sunday, as fellow Democrats lost faith in his mental acuity and ability to beat Trump. Minutes later - he endorsed Harris. All this leaves the presidential race in uncharted territory. In more than two centuries of democracy, American voters have elected only one Black president and never a woman, a record that makes even some Black voters wonder if Harris can crash through the hardest ceiling in U.S. politics. "Well, this here is the one: the most existential, consequential and important election of our lifetime. And there is so much at stake." Harris would face other big challenges: if promoted to the top of the ticket, she would have barely three months to campaign and unite the party and donors behind her. Yet many Democrats are excited about her chances. At 59, Harris is two decades younger than Trump and a leader in the party on abortion rights, an issue which resonates with younger voters and Democrats' progressive base. Proponents argue she would energize those voters, consolidate Black support, and bring sharp debating skills to prosecute the political case against the former president. In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, Harris and Trump were tied with 44% support each in a July 15-16 Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted immediately after the assassination attempt against Trump. Trump led Biden 43% to 41% in that same poll, though the 2 percentage point difference was within the poll's 3 percentage point margin of error. And Harris's approval ratings, while low, are a tick higher than Biden's. But despite earning praise in the last few weeks for her strong defense of Biden, some Democrats remain concerned about Harris' shaky first two years in office, short-lived campaign for the 2020 Democratic nomination, and - perhaps most of all - the weight of a long history of racial and gender discrimination in the United States.1 day ago

The path ahead is neither easy nor obvious, even with Biden endorsing Harris1 day ago- 2:29Biden drops his reelection bidReuters VideosSTORY: :: File U.S. President Joe Biden has ended his faltering reelection bid. In a post on X, the 81-year-old said he would stay in his role as president and commander-in-chief until his term ends in January. "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” he said, while adding, “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down.” :: File He also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the party's candidate. :: June 27, 2024 There's been a wave of public and private pressure from Democratic lawmakers and party officials for him to quit after his shockingly poor performance in a televised debate last month against Donald Trump, his Republican rival. It took the spotlight away from Trump’s false statements and put it squarely on Biden’s fitness for another four year term, all as donors began to revolt. :: July 11, 2024 Other gaffes at a NATO summit did not help, either. He invoked Russian President Vladimir Putin’s name when he meant Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy… and called Harris “Vice President Trump.” :: June 28, 2024 :: July 5, 2024 Biden initially resisted pressure to step aside, and sat down for rare television interviews. But polls showed Trump’s lead in key battleground states widening. And Democrats began to fear a wipeout in the House and Senate. Just days ago Biden was diagnosed with COVID-19. “Trump wanted to run against Biden. He really thought he could take Biden." Darrell West with the Brookings Institution says Biden's moves creates problems for the Republicans, at least in the short term. "They're just going to have to recast the whole thrust of their campaign which was saying Joe Biden was too old, he couldn't do the job, his family was corrupt -- all that disappears now." For his part, Trump told CNN on Sunday that he believed Harris would be easier to defeat in the November 5 election. It's unclear whether other senior Democrats might challenge Harris for the nomination or if the party would choose to open the field for nominations. Biden is the first sitting president to give up his party’s nomination for reelection since President Lyndon Johnson in 1968. And it leaves his replacement with less than four months to wage a campaign.1 day ago
