A Fed Critique & What the Polls Tell Us 10/24/24

The Federal Reserve will make its next decision on interest rates immediately following election day.

Warsh considers the meaning of inflation, the role of the Fed, and offers his perspective on the last decision to cut rates by 50 basis points. The morning after Vice President Kamala Harris’ town hall with Anderson Cooper on CNN, pollster and strategist Frank Luntz explains why Harris may be struggling to win over persuadable voters. Steve Liesman breaks down CNBC’s latest election survey and explains the margin for error in both state and national polling. Plus, Boeing machinists on strike rejected the company’s latest labor contract, and Peloton’s stock is surging after an investor’s bullish comments.
