Ron DeSantis drops out of presidential race, endorses Trump
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has withdrawn from the presidential race, throwing his support behind former President Trump. DeSantis garnered only 6% support in New Hampshire, trailing Trump's 50% and Nikki Haley's 39%. Meanwhile, Haley criticized Trump for his relationships with dictators and questioned his mental acuity. DeSantis did not dismiss the possibility of Senator Tim Scott, Representative Elise Stefanik, or Governor Christie Noem as potential running mates.
Economic optimism in the US despite real estate challenges
US stocks reached record highs thanks to companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Texas Instruments. Consumer confidence has also increased, with Democrats more optimistic about the economy than Republicans. However, the real estate market is struggling due to high mortgage rates and low inventory, leading to the lowest home sales since 1995. Despite these challenges, there is hope for improvement in 2024, as the 30-year fixed mortgage rate has dropped to its lowest level since May.
