A Donald Trump presidency could be worse for the federal budget than a Harris presidency, according to a new report from the Committee For a Responsible Federal Budget. Either way the election goes, CNBC’s Eamon Javers says the deficit will grow. CNBC’s Steve Liesman considers why neither politicians nor the broader public seem to care about America’s soaring debt, and shares his concerns about the deficit’s economic impact. A week out from election day, Axios co-founder Mike Allen says the MAGA-World is confident. While the election seems like a coin flip, it could end up a landslide for either candidate. Plus, Trump Media shares surged and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos published an op-ed defending the newspaper’s decision against endorsing a presidential candidate this election cycle.
