Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci humorously thanked Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39780777/trump-picks-senator-j-d-vance-as-running-mate-musk-says-great-choice-for-vp">running mate</a>, JD Vance (R-Ohio), for taking his place as the worst hire of the former president.
What Happened: Scaramucci expressed his gratitude to Vance for ousting him from the position of the worst Trump hire, in a post on Friday on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
&#8220;I just want to personally thank JD Vance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I didn't think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful.&#8221;

Scaramucci&#8217;s post comes amidst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39979544/can-trump-replace-jd-vance-amid-kamala-harris-picking-pace-experts-warn-that-could-be-extraordinaril">growing speculation</a> about Vance&#8217;s position as Trump&#8217;s Vice Presidential candidate due to his underwhelming polling and the rising momentum of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Why It Matters: Scaramucci has been vocal about his disapproval of Vance as Trump&#8217;s running mate. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854646/anthony-scaramucci-says-jd-vances-quest-to-wall-us-off-from-rest-of-world-could-be-an-economic-disas">previously stated</a> that Vance&#8217;s economic policies could lead to a disaster for the United States and the world.

Vance has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39784888/aoc-mocks-trump-vp-choice-j-d-vance-for-tweet-connecting-fertility-rate-with-daylight-saving-time">come under criticism</a> for his past social media activity, with Rep.&nbsp;Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;(D-N.Y.) highlighting a post made by Trump's running mate linking fertility rates with daylight savings time.
Vance reportedly wrote on November 1, 2020: "As a parent of young children and a nationalist who worries about America's low fertility I can say with confidence that daylight savings time reduces fertility by at least 10 percent."
Vance later said this post was a joke.

Former White House Official Anthony Scaramucci Mocks JD Vance, Says Thank You For 'Knocking Me Out Of The Position Of The Worst Donald Trump Hire'

Deepwater Asset Management&#8217;s managing partners, Gene Munster and Doug Clinton have <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/openais-new-searchgpt-prototype-is-a-declaration-of-war-against-google/articleshow/112024630.cms">downplayed concerns</a> that Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Search could be outdone by OpenAI&#8217;s SearchGPT.
What Happened: On Friday, Munster took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, &#8220;Since it&#8217;s only a 15-second video, it&#8217;s hard to see why SearchGPT is 10x better than Google AI Overviews.&#8221;
He went on to say that in the near term, this revives fears among Google investors that AI could threaten search. However, if the product&#8217;s capabilities are limited to what&#8217;s shown in the teaser, Google is not in any significant danger.

Doug Clinton, the other managing partner at Deepwater, concurred with Munster&#8217;s views. He said that although the SearchGPT video resulted in a minor dip in Google&#8217;s stock, it does not pose a substantial threat to Google&#8217;s AI.
&#8220;It didn&#8217;t seem 10x superior to what I&#8217;m observing&nbsp;from Google and AI overviews,&#8221; Clinton remarked in a separate video.

Top Analyst Says OpenAI's AI-Powered Search Engine Likely Isn't A Threat To Google: 'It's Hard To See Why SearchGPT Is 10X Better…'

The much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO) of billionaire investor Bill Ackman&#8216;s Pershing Square closed-end fund has been postponed, as confirmed by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE.)
What Happened: On Friday, the NYSE announced on its website that the listing of Pershing Square USA Ltd. has been delayed, with a new date yet to be disclosed. 
Pershing Square refrained from commenting further but issued a statement clarifying that the IPO is still proceeding, with the pricing date to be announced later.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947623/lindsey-graham-says-americans-are-struggling-and-our-country-is-heading-in-the-wrong-direction-repla?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lindsey Graham Says &#8216;Americans Are Struggling, And Our Country Is Heading In The Wrong Direction&#8217;</a>
The delay comes amid Ackman&#8217;s concerns about the size of the transaction and the novelty of the structure. He expressed these concerns in a July 24 letter to investors, emphasizing the need for careful analysis and judgment from investors.
The fund is expected to invest in 12 to 24 large-cap, investment-grade, &#8220;durable growth&#8221; companies in North America. The public listing is seen as a move to leverage Ackman&#8217;s following among Main Street investors.
Why It Matters: The IPO delay follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39975768/bill-ackmans-us-fund-ipo-target-slashed-by-90-as-pershing-square-specifically-disclaims-ceos-comment">significant reduction in the fund&#8217;s targe</a>t, which was slashed by as much as 90% from the initial $25 billion. In a letter to investors in his Pershing Square holding company sent on Wednesday, Ackman urged, "This is a moment when you can be very helpful to Pershing Square by participating in the PSUS offering and giving your order to the banks, the sooner the better." However, Pershing Square USA "specifically disclaims" Ackman's statement in the filing that included the letter.
Inspired by Warren Buffett&#8216;s career, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39766570/bill-ackman-says-his-unofficial-mentor-warren-buffett-inspired-him-to-take-pershing-square-funds-pub">Ackman decided to take his funds public.</a> He planned to use his social media presence and a Buffett-like annual meeting to bolster his new investment fund.
Pershing Square USA is a closed-end fund set to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, investing in large, publicly traded stocks that Ackman and his team believe are undervalued. Ackman had previously informed investors that he expected the company to trade at a premium compared to the net assets it held.
Despite the reduction in the IPO target, Ackman remains optimistic about the fund's potential, particularly with the involvement of U.S. retail investors and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39811552/from-warren-buffett-style-annual-meetings-to-social-media-strategy-heres-how-bill-ackman-plans-to-bo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support of institutional investors</a>.

Bill Ackman's Warren Buffett-Inspired Strategy Hits A Snag? Pershing Square USA Delays IPO Indefinitely After Slashing Target By 90%

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has strongly refuted allegations of manipulating the issuance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/treasuries">Treasury securities</a>. These accusations were made by economist Nouriel Roubini who suggested that such manipulation was aimed at reducing real borrowing costs across the economy.
What Happened: Yellen dismissed Roubini&#8217;s argument that the Treasury had a strategy to ease financial conditions, in an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-26/yellen-rejects-roubini-claim-of-manipulation-in-treasuries">interview</a> with Bloomberg.
&#8220;I can assure you 100% that there is no such strategy. We have never, ever discussed anything of the sort,&#8221; Yellen said.
The paper, co-authored by Roubini and Stephen Miran, a former Treasury official under President Donald Trump, claimed that the Treasury&#8217;s actions in the fall of last year reduced 10-year Treasury yields by a quarter of a percentage point.
This is roughly equivalent to a full percentage point reduction in the Federal Reserve&#8217;s benchmark rate.

Joshua Frost, the Treasury&#8217;s assistant secretary for financial markets, defended the department&#8217;s actions, stating they were within market participants&#8217; expectations.
Yellen supported Frost&#8217;s statements, saying his speech provided the best explanation for the department&#8217;s approach.
Why It Matters: The allegations against Yellen come in the wake of a series of events that have put her in the spotlight.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39749545/trump-allies-slam-janet-yellen-for-manipulating-treasury-debt-auctions-to-improve-bidens-image">she was accused</a> by Republican lawmakers of manipulating Treasury debt auctions to stimulate the economy and enhance President Joe Biden‘s image. This latest development is a continuation of the scrutiny Yellen has been facing.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38572650/janet-yellen-stands-up-for-feds-autonomy-as-trump-allies-plan-to-gain-more-control">Yellen also defended</a> the Federal Reserve&#8217;s political independence against attempts by Trump allies to undermine it.
In June, she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39348581/janet-yellen-dismisses-donald-trumps-proposal-to-replace-income-tax-with-tariffs-the-impact-would-be">publicly criticized Trump&#8217;s proposal</a> to replace parts of the U.S. income tax with increased tariffs on imported goods.
Later that month, she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39470021/janet-yellen-says-inflation-to-come-down-to-feds-2-target-by-2025-dismisses-possibility-of-us-recess">expressed confidence</a> in the American economy, dismissing the possibility of a recession and predicting that inflation would reach the Federal Reserve's 2% target by next year.

Janet Yellen Rejects Economist Roubini's And Trump-Era Official's Claims Of 'Manipulation' In Treasuries: 'We Have Never, Ever Discussed Anything Of The Sort'

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google has severed its business ties with One Medical, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/healthcare">primary healthcare provider</a> acquired by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) for $3.9 billion.
What Happened: Google, previously One Medical&#8217;s largest business client, has decided to terminate its enterprise agreement with the healthcare company following Amazon&#8217;s acquisition of One Medical last year, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-drops-amazon-one-medical-2024-7">reported</a> Business Insider.
The agreement, which offered Google employees discounted or free One Medical memberships and operated One Medical care centers at some Google office locations, is set to expire at the end of 2024.
Google was an early supporter of One Medical and was its largest business customer for many years. Until 2020, One Medical disclosed that Google accounted for 10% of its net revenue.
In 2021, that dipped below 10%, and then One Medical stopped publicly sharing financials after Amazon acquired it.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39940874/gileads-42-5k-priced-hiv-drug-could-be-made-at-just-40-annually-campaigners-urge-company-to-slash?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gilead&#8217;s $42.5K Priced HIV Drug Could Be Made At Just $40 Annually</a>
A Google spokesperson confirmed to the publication that the existing relationship with One Medical is changing after 2024 but stressed that the decision has nothing to do with Amazon&#8217;s new ownership of the healthcare provider.
The existing One Medical centers on Google&#8217;s campus have already transitioned to Premise Health to provide more services like pharmacy, gynecology, and coordinated care on-site, the spokesperson added.
An Amazon spokesperson told Business Insider that Google employees and their dependents will continue to have One Medical memberships &#8220;sponsored&#8221; by their employer through the end of 2024.
Why It Matters: The termination of Google&#8217;s business relationship with One Medical comes amid significant changes within the healthcare provider.
In September, CEO Amir Dan Rubin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34166966/amazons-one-medical-ceo-departs-amid-significant-leadership-shift">stepped down</a> from One Medical after six years at the helm, a little over a year after Amazon&#8217;s acquisition.
This leadership shift was followed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/36971965/amazon-implements-major-job-cuts-in-one-medical-and-pharmacy-units-to-save-100m">major job cuts</a> in February, as part of a cost-saving initiative aiming to save One Medical $100 million.

Google Cuts Ties With Amazon-Owned One Medical, But Clarifies It Is Not Due To E-Commerce Giant's $3.9B Acquisition

Following President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39885549/biden-withdraws-from-2024-race-what-that-means-for-solana-etf-prospects">withdraw from the 2024 presidential race</a>, a poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal indicates that former President Donald Trump has a slight edge over Vice President Kamala Harris.
What Happened: The poll <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/harris-erases-trumps-lead-wsj-poll-finds-e286144d?mod=e2tw">results</a> published on Friday revealed that Trump has the support of 49% of registered voters, while Harris trails slightly behind with 47%. The WSJ poll, conducted from July 23-25, surveyed 1,000 registered voters with a margin of error&nbsp;of ±3.1 percentage points.
The latest poll also showed a significant rise in Harris&#8217;s favorability among registered voters, jumping 11 points to 46%. In comparison, Trump&#8217;s favorability was at 47% and Biden&#8217;s at 39%.

North Korea Says &#8216;We Do Not Care,&#8217; Expresses Nuclear Readiness Amid Rising Tension With US</a>
In a ballot test featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alongside other independent and third-party candidates, Harris secured 45% of the vote, while Trump received 44%. Kennedy garnered just 4%, and 5% of voters remained undecided. 
In the last poll, Biden trailed by six points in the multicandidate contest, the report noted.
Why It Matters: The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39973800/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-gains-ground-lost-by-joe-biden-in-swing-states">race between Trump and Harris</a>&nbsp;is shaping up to be a close one, with Harris making up ground lost by Biden in head-to-head matchups against Trump. 
President Biden&#8217;s campaign was plagued by a lackluster debate performance and concerns about his age and mental fitness, leading to his withdrawal last week.
Since Biden&#8217;s exit, Harris has garnered several key endorsements from her party, experienced a surge in fundraising, and secured enough delegate commitments to secure the nomination.
Meanwhile, Trump has been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947274/trump-takes-aim-at-kamala-harris-in-first-rally-post-bidens-exit-calls-her-a-radical-left-lunatic-vp">criticizing Harris</a>&nbsp;on immigration and inflation issues, labeling her as a &#8220;radical-left lunatic.&#8221;
There has also been speculation about whether Trump might&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39979544/can-trump-replace-jd-vance-amid-kamala-harris-picking-pace-experts-warn-that-could-be-extraordinaril">replace his vice presidential candidate</a>, Sen.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
