Donald Trump survives another assassination attempt: FBI
Donald Trump was targeted by an apparent assassination attempt Sunday in Florida with the Republican presidential candidate's campaign and law enforcement reporting he was unharmed. The Secret Service confirmed one or more of its agents "opened fire on a gunman" near the boundary of Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., where the shooter was spotted a hole ahead of him. An "AK-47 style rifle" with a scope and a GoPro camera were recovered. The suspect escaped in a black car but a witness helped police identify the vehicle and authorities tracked it down.

Fed ready to announce its first interest rate cut since 2020
The Federal Reserve is gearing up to announce its first interest rate cut for more than four years on Wednesday, with policy-makers expected to debate how big a move to make less than two months before the US presidential election. Senior officials at the Fed including chair Jerome Powell have indicated that a rate cut is coming this month, as inflation eases toward the bank's long-term target of 2%, and the labor market continues to cool.

Since the strike began Friday in a dispute over pay, Boeing has said it is eager to return to the bargaining table.

Fifty days left in a 50/50 presidential race

With only 50 days left until the US presidential election, the stakes couldn't be higher and the storylines couldn't be weirder. Along with the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in as many months, the other themes headed into the home stretch include Kamala Harris' campaign launching a series of ads promoting her endorsement by pop star Taylor Swift, Trump's embrace of far-right agitator Laura Loomer, and the ongoing saga of unfounded rumors of Ohio immigrants eating pets. Oddest of all, the race is a dead heat with only seven weeks left.

MELANIA TRUMP IS LATEST TO WEIGH IN ON HIS ELECTION BID

Pennsylvania fracking a go despite election

Pennsylvanians working in the controversial fracking industry are confident that the sector will endure, whoever wins the White House in November's presidential election. With an eye firmly on winning over voters in the gas-rich battleground state, both Republican candidate Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris are vowing to support the hydraulic fracturing industry. But Trump's consistently strong support for the practice - and Harris's past opposition to it - have led some voters to conclude that the former president would be better.
