Vice President Kamala Harris is set to embark on a campaign tour through seven swing states with her yet-to-be-named running mate. Hurricane Debby has made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 storm, with life-threatening storm surges and major flooding expected. Noah Lyles became the world’s fastest man, winning gold in an epic photo finish by five-thousandths of a second. Harris, 59, is looking to mobilize swing-state voters and increase local media coverage and fundraising through her campaign events. In sports news, Simone Biles will compete in her final two events today, Katie Ledecky won her ninth gold and 14th overall medal, and Bobby Finke and the U.S. women set world records in swimming. Meanwhile, Hurricane Debby is causing fears of a U.S. recession, leading to a global market sell-off with U.S. stocks opening in the red. Israel is bracing for potential attacks following the assassinations of two senior militant leaders last week. In politics, there are developments in the Election 2024, Arizona Senate race, Michigan laws, and Supreme Court reforms. Finally, Maine’s tourism economy is thriving but housing costs are putting a strain on residents, leading to creative solutions such as renting out boats and hotels to employees. Overall, a busy news day with developments in politics, sports, weather, and global markets.
