President Biden spoke to reporters yesterday, rebutting claims made in Special Counsel Robert Hur’s recent report and defending his memory. Axios National Political Correspondent Alex Thompson discusses sentiment in DC and at the White House, as well as the paths forward for the Democratic Party as the country gears up for the 2024 election in just 9 months. The S&P 500 is flirting with a milestone: 5,000. Fairlead Strategies Founder Katie Stockton breaks down the market technicals and trends underlying this big mark for the S&P. Plus, Expedia announced a new CEO in its latest report, and Pinterest is launching a Google app integration. And we’re preparing for the Super Bowl…with chips! OpenAI’s Sam Altman is hoping to raise trillions of dollars for the semiconductor kind of chips, and Joe Kernen, Andrew Ross Sorkin, and Melissa Lee have their appetites on the other kind of chips.
