Republican Nominee Donald Trump has named his pick for VP: Ohio Senator JD Vance. It’s a pivotal choice for the GOP, reports CNBC’s Eamon Javers, who is in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. Vance represents a new era for the conservative party, one of populist economics. Oren Cass, executive director of populist thinktank American Compass, is one of the movement’s leaders; Cass explains his conservative economics and the symbolism of JD Vance on the 2024 Republican ticket. Venture capitalist Bradley Tusk explains how populism plays out on social media, as well as the role of internet rhetoric in today’s political climate. Plus, Elon Musk has made an endorsement–but Teamsters has not. And Fed Chair Jay Powell is still aiming for a 2% inflation rate, but it’s complicated.
