Anthony Scaramucci, who worked very briefly as White House Communications Director under former President Donald Trump, in an interview published on Wednesday shared his insights into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913930/kamala-harris-moves-from-13-point-deficit-to-7-point-lead-over-trump-in-survey-of-fund-managers-stra">2024 presidential race</a>.
Impressed With Harris: Vice President Kamala Harris has done a good job so far despite her late-entry into the race, said Scaramucci in an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/video/events/anthony-scaramucci-on-harris-vs-trump/C105B408-F8D1-4E0C-8B21-79D02BF0E52D.html?mod=WSJvidctr_upnext_pos0">interview</a> with The Wall Street Journal. When President Joe Biden decided to quit the race and endorsed her, she had to simultaneously do three things &#8211; merging her staff with his re-election team, get the delegates to commit to her and also find a way to be respectful to the president, he said.
The vice president had to get the nomination, knocking the other potentially contenders, and prepare for the debate as well, he said. &#8220;I think she's done an incredible job in a very short period of time,&#8221; he added. 
The critics may still point out that she needs to do more interviews, flesh out her economic agenda and speak with greater clarity about what she wans to do, what her vision is, Scaramucci said. All that is coming and she started the process but she may not do as many interviews as the media would like, he said.
&#8220;If you think about where she was on July 21st and where she is here in the middle of September I think II would give her an A plus in terms of her execution,&#8221; he added.

How Harris Differs: Scaramucci said the vice president differed from Trump in building a team or coalition. &#8220;If you like President Trump&#8230;. you sort of know what you're getting. You're getting a team of one. It's him. He's in the spotlight,&#8221; the ex-White House aide said.
Trump doesn&#8217;t like other people speaking for him, which was evident when he rebuked his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) during the debate for speaking for him, Scaramucci said. Harris has gone now to a very broad group of people and asked for help from Republicans and Democrats on debate prep, he added. 
To make his case, Scaramucci noted that he, who was a lifelong Republican, was called to go into the spin room and advocate on her behalf, and she got the endorsement of former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney and her father and former Vice President Dick Cheney.
&#8220;Think of the coalition that she's building and and think about her willingness to do that,&#8221; he said.
3 Focal Points: Scaramucci said irrespective of who wins, three things are important. The next president should strengthen U.S.&#8217; alliances and move toward the allies and not away from them. &#8220;That would send a very big message to the world that America is committed to peace and long term prosperity for our trading partners and for the cause of freedom around the world,&#8221; he said. Trump, meanwhile, wants to go toward isolationism, he added.
Secondly, the U.S. has to address the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/macro-notification/24/04/38337484/is-the-us-national-debt-unsustainable-we-cant-have-a-deficit-of-7-of-the-gdp"> looming debt crisis, </a>Scaramucci said. &#8220;When you are spending over a trillion dollars of tax receipts on interest payments and you're looking at $2 trillion deficits a year we have to do something about that and we can fix that&#8230; but it would take 15 or 20 years,&#8221; he said. He called upon Americans to back the political leader who is offering a 10-20 year plan to right-size the deficits. 
The third important thing would be to redo the tax code to create more economic incentives for growth in the blue states, Scaramucci said. The state and local income tax deduction limitation that the Trump administration put in, in Dec. 2017 has hurt the overall economy, he said.

Scaramucci: Donald Trump Is A 'Team Of One', Kamala Harris Has 'Done An Incredible Job'

Arab-American voters, represented by 31-year-old Palestinian American Ruwa Romman, face a complex <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dilemma this election season</a> in Georgia.
Romman, a legislator in the swing state, was nominated to represent the Uncommitted National Movement, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/features/longform/2024/9/18/denied-the-democratic-convention-stage-ruwa-romman-focuses-on-whats-next" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> Al Jazeera. This protest initiative aims to urge Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to reconsider her support for Israel&#8217;s actions in Gaza.
While she planned to share her family&#8217;s story at the Democratic National Convention in mid-August, she didn&#8217;t get the chance.
Nonetheless, her advocacy outside the convention has propelled her into the national spotlight.
Romman embodies the struggle many Arab-Americans experience as they balance their support for the Democratic Party with criticism of its largely pro-Israel platform.

Romman was among three speakers proposed by the movement to convey the Palestinian experience at the convention.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, she mentioned that, had she been allowed to speak, her address would have included an endorsement for Harris.
Romman viewed her potential speech as a chance to humanize the plight of Palestinians, who have lost over 41,250 lives in the ongoing conflict. When questioned about whether she would rule out endorsing Harris, Romman indicated that she didn&#8217;t have a definite answer. She mentioned that she had extended her endorsement, but noted that neither the Harris campaign nor the DNC acknowledged it.
Regarding the issue of an official endorsement, she remarked that it was more a matter for them to decide, rather than for her.
Born in Jordan, Romman made history in 2022 as the first Muslim woman elected to the Georgia State House of Representatives. She was part of a record wave of 153 Muslim-American candidates who won office during that year&#8217;s midterm elections.

His first love was something completely different: photography.&nbsp;
Fresh out of high school, Kevin dreamed of turning his passion into a career. He even set up a lab in his basement and was doing everything he loved. But his father had a harsh dose of reality for him.

"You're not good enough and you'll starve to death," his dad bluntly told him. His father pushed him to go to college and earn a degree, telling him not to follow his heart. This tough love turned out to be some of the best advice Kevin could have received, even though it might have felt like his aspirations were being dashed.

Kevin took his father's advice and went to college, eventually earning an MBA. Though it wasn't part of his original plan, this degree would later be a game-changer. He soon found a way to merge his passion for photography and production with his business skills, launching his first company, Special Event Television, which produced programming for East Coast hockey games.
That first venture set the stage for a highly successful career. Kevin and his co-founders eventually sold the company and Kevin used the money to start his next venture, a software business called Softkey, which he later sold for $4.2 billion.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump</a> returned to North Carolina on Saturday to campaign in Wilmington, a key battleground in the upcoming November election.
However, he was without Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the GOP gubernatorial nominee and one of Trump&#8217;s primary supporters in the state, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-mark-robinson-north-carolina-wilmington-1bc79594567860c9ffe7f44375fac847" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> AP News.
A CNN <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/19/politics/kfile-mark-robinson-black-nazi-pro-slavery-porn-forum/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> on Thursday regarding Robinson&#8217;s inflammatory remarks about race, gender, and sexual orientation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40968051/republicans-in-damage-control-mode-after-mark-robinsons-remarks-spark-concern-for-trump-campaign-goi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has left the Republicans scrambling</a>.
As per the CNN report, Robinson commented on a pornography website&#8217;s message board, where he self-identified as a &#8220;Black Nazi&#8221; and expressed a desire for the return of slavery.
Democrats, on the other hand, are highlighting Robinson&#8217;s connections to other candidates, including Trump, who has previously praised the North Carolina lieutenant governor.

Robinson was not scheduled to attend the Wilmington event, said AP News, citing two individuals with knowledge of the situation, who requested anonymity.
Although Robinson secured victory in his GOP gubernatorial primary back in March, he has fallen behind Democratic nominee Josh Stein, the state attorney general, in several recent polls.
State Republican leaders continue to support Robinson, but his choice to persist with his campaign might jeopardize the GOP&#8217;s chances in other crucial races, including Trump&#8217;s efforts in a battleground state he has won twice before.
Trump has consistently expressed admiration for Robinson, a Black politician, calling him a figure reminiscent of Martin Luther King, but with added intensity. When endorsing Robinson prior to the GOP gubernatorial primary, Trump stated that he believes Robinson surpasses King in significance, AP News added.
While presidential candidates have focused more on the Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, both Trump and Harris have made several visits to North Carolina, underscoring the state&#8217;s significance.
After Biden exited the race in July, Trump organized his first major rally there, shifting his attention entirely toward Harris.

Controversial Ally Mark Robinson Absent From Donald Trump Rally In Pivotal North Carolina

Mary Trump, a psychologist and author, last week shared her thought on her uncle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">&#8216;s</a> psychology and also the media sane-washing him.
Lover Of Violence: Mary Trump called her uncle a lover of violence, especially when it is committed on his behalf, <a href="https://www.marytrump.org/p/the-bringer-of-violence">said</a> Mary Trump in a Substack post. Weighing in on a second assassination attempt against the former president, she noted that it was only a few days before the incident that he refused to condemn the bomb threats, school evacuations, and general sense of terror in Springfield, Ohio, that he and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) have unleashed by their &#8220;vicious targeting of Haitian immigrants who live and work there.&#8221;
&#8220;Threats of violence and actual violence from the right are now a regular part of our political discourse and behavior —Donald makes sure of that on an almost daily basis,&#8221; she said.
Mary Trump noted that in early days of her uncle&#8217;s 2016 campaign, he encouraged rally goers to assault protesters. &#8220;Before and during the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Donald encouraged and stoked violence and people listened,&#8221; she said. 
&#8220;Every day, Americans pay the price while Donald sets the world on fire with his provocations and then spends the day playing golf, completely insulated from the chaos he sows,&#8221; she added.
The former president believes that the only way to maintain his grip on power is to &#8220;keep us divided, angry, and afraid,&#8221; Mary Trump said.
&#8220;America can't go on like this,&#8221; she said, adding that &#8220;I worry about what will happen in the next 50 days and the uncertain weeks that will follow.&#8221;

Sane-washing Trump: Mary Trump also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzAaOdvkIDw">shared</a> a MSNBC interview in which she discussed about the media sane-washing Donald Trump. &#8220;They are just pretending that he said these understandable, coherent things but much worse than that they are imbuing his meaningless statements with meaning that is not there,&#8221; she said. This makes the former president more serious and less delusional than he actually is, she added.
For years now, it has been told that some of the most disqualifying things about Donald Trump are baked in and so nobody cares about them anymore, the psychologist said. But she called it as a &#8220;wrong take.&#8221; This &#8220;gives him an enormous advantage because he can do anything and we are all just supposed to assume that that&#8217;s just fine and it gives him permission to get away with worse,&#8221; she said. 
Although this isn&#8217;t anything new, it is now just increasingly less hinged, more delusional, more dangerous, Mary Trump said, adding that the people he surrounds himself with have always been awful, they too are becoming more dangerous to democracy and to American citizens.
Mary Trump also delved into her uncle&#8217;s claims about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40937559/jd-vances-unverified-rumors-about-haitian-immigrants-stir-gop-discomfort-distracting-from-real-issue">Haitian illegal immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio</a>. This is just the latest example of something he has been doing for years. This is stochastic terrorism,&#8221; she said, adding that this is deadly serious.
&#8220;Donald Trump has and will get people killed because of his dangerous rhetoric and the fact that he is willing to stop at nothing if he thinks demeaning the most vulnerable people among us is going to get him another vote,&#8221; Mary Trump said.

Mary Trump Says Americans Pay The Price As Her Uncle Sets World On Fire With His Provocations: 'I Worry About What Will Happen'

Wall Street is rejoicing as the Federal Reserve&#8217;s half-point rate cut triggers a market rally, even amidst rising apprehensions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/08/40429168/s-p-500-records-best-week-of-the-year-amid-favorable-economic-reports-what-really-drove-th">about inflated valuations</a>.
What Happened: The Federal Reserve&#8217;s lenient approach has uplifted the economic forecast, resulting in a jump in U.S. stocks and commodities, and a reduction in bond market volatility. 
The Nasdaq 100 experienced its most significant two-week surge since November, dismissing worries that the Fed chief had postponed concluding a two-year fight against inflation.
Nonetheless, inflated valuations are emerging as a substantial hurdle, leaving little margin for mistakes if any event disrupts investors&#8217; large-scale bets, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-20/risk-appetites-rage-as-powell-proves-hero-in-high-priced-markets?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports</a> Bloomberg.
A model adjusting S&amp;P 500 earnings yields and 10-year Treasury rates for inflation suggests that cross-asset pricing is now higher than at the commencement of all previous 14 Fed easing cycles, typically linked with recessions.

Lauren Goodwin, economist and chief market strategist at New York Life Investments, cautions that while high prices are just one factor contributing to a multifaceted market environment, they amplify market vulnerability if any other aspect goes awry.
U.S. stocks surged, propelling the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s total return for 2024 above 20%. The index leaped 1.7% on Thursday, marking its 39th record close of the year, following the Fed&#8217;s rate cut and data indicating labor market resilience.
However, many stock-valuation measures are stretched, including the Buffett indicator, which divides the total market capitalization of U.S. stocks by the total dollar value of the nation&#8217;s GDP. This indicator is near a record high, at a time when Warren Buffett has recently downsized some high-profile equity holdings.
Why It Matters: Despite these concerns, the rally in U.S. stocks persists, justified by earnings growth keeping pace with high valuations.
However, the potential for disappointment is high in the Treasury market, where futures trading continues to anticipate more interest-rate cuts than Fed policymakers themselves see as likely over the next year.

Fed Rate Cut Fuels Market Rally Amidst Valuation Fears

In a recent podcast interview, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg shared his parenting philosophy, emphasizing the importance of individuality over fame.
What Happened: Zuckerberg recounted a conversation with his 7-year-old daughter August Chan Zuckerberg, where he encouraged her to aspire to be herself rather than a celebrity. This discussion was prompted by her desire to be like Taylor Swift.
According to a report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-taylor-swift-daughter-parenting-lesson-2024-9">by</a> Business Insider, Annie Wright, a therapist who works with affluent parents, praised Zuckerberg&#8217;s advice. She noted that parents often grapple with their children&#8217;s growing desire to become influencers. Wright urges parents to help their children cultivate a strong sense of self-worth and individuality, instead of pursuing popularity.
According to the outlet, Zuckerberg said in the interview, &#8220;I was like, &#8216;But you can&#8217;t. That&#8217;s not available to you. And she thought about it and she&#8217;s like, &#8216;Alright when I grow up I want people to want to be like August Chan Zuckerberg, and I was like, &#8216;Hell yeah. Hell yeah.'&#8221;
Wright also highlighted that children from high-achieving families often experience intense pressure to succeed, leading to feelings of inadequacy. She promotes the idea of parents downplaying goals like fame and having open dialogues about its drawbacks.

&#8220;His advice to his daughter to aspire to be herself, not Taylor Swift or some other icon, I do think it&#8217;s an important reminder for all parents,&#8221; Wright told the outlet.
Part of Zuckerberg&#8217;s parenting strategy includes assigning chores to his children, a practice Wright believes is an effective way to teach vital life skills, particularly in affluent families. 
She stated, &#8220;Chores create an understanding that rewards come from effort, not entitlement.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Zuckerberg&#8217;s parenting approach offers a unique perspective in a society where fame and celebrity status are often glamorized. His advice underscores the importance of self-worth and individuality, values that can help children navigate the pressures of growing up in high-achieving families. 
Furthermore, his emphasis on chores as a means to teach life skills provides a practical approach to parenting that encourages effort and discourages entitlement. 
This advice is particularly relevant in today&#8217;s digital age, where the allure of becoming an influencer can often overshadow the importance of personal growth and self-discovery.

Zuckerberg Tells His Daughter She Can't Be Like Taylor Swift: 'You Can't Do It, That's Not Available To You'

A recent survey revealed that more than half of voters back pop star <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor Swift</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8216;s</a> initiative to encourage her fans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40869299/mother-sells-taylor-swift-tickets-over-stars-endorsement-of-kamala-harris-im-gonna-shake-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">participate in this year&#8217;s election</a>.
However, this support has dropped by 15 points since February, partly due to a conspiracy theory suggesting the Super Bowl was rigged, <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4888659-taylor-swift-voter-turnout-effort/?tbref=hp\" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> The Hill, citing the latest Monmouth University <a href="https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_091924/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll</a>.
&#8220;Interestingly, support for the singer&#8217;s get-out-the-vote (GOTV) efforts were much higher <a href="https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_021424/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seven months ago</a>, when she was the subject of a debunked conspiracy theory around the election and the Super Bowl,&#8221; said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.
Swift has been recognized for directing a massive influx of over 330,000 visitors to vote.gov,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40807445/taylor-swift-says-i-will-be-casting-my-vote-for-kamala-harris-and-tim-walz-takes-a-dig-at-j" rel="noreferrer noopener">following her public endorsement</a>&nbsp;of Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris. This surge occurred less than 24 hours after Swift&#8217;s endorsement after the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40806876/final-showdown-trump-and-harris-face-off-in-intense-debate-just-eight-weeks-before-election-day" rel="noreferrer noopener">debate between</a>&nbsp;Harris and former President&nbsp;Donald Trump.

However, the poll shows that 53% of voters support Taylor Swift&#8217;s efforts to encourage her fans to vote, while 35 percent disapprove, The Hill added. Additionally, 12% of respondents indicated that they were unsure.
&#8220;Republicans were wary of Swift all along. What we don&#8217;t know is whether this will have any effect on the part of her fan base who already leans right,&#8221; Murray added.
Swift is currently in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and was present at the team&#8217;s Super Bowl game against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. During that time, a conspiracy theory emerged suggesting that the game might be manipulated to benefit the Chiefs and maximize exposure for a potential Swift endorsement of President Biden.
No evidence supported this theory, nor had Swift made any endorsements at that point. However, Monmouth noted a significant decline in support for Swift&#8217;s voting initiatives following the conspiracy, the report added.
Despite Taylor Swift&#8217;s endorsement of the Democrats, an ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted earlier this week revealed that 81% of respondents believe her support for Kamala Harris will not affect their voting decisions.
Only 6% indicated they were more likely to vote for Harris due to Swift&#8217;s endorsement, while 13% said it made them less inclined to support the Democratic ticket, The Hill added.

Support For Taylor Swift's Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts Have Dropped 15 Points Since February Amid Super Bowl Conspiracy Theory

Employees at OpenAI have voiced their dissatisfaction with the company&#8217;s proposed new logo, which they have described as &#8220;ominous&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37440684/openais-sam-altman-has-an-estimated-2-billion-net-worth-and-much-of-it-doesnt-come-from-ai">and lacking in creativity</a>.
What Happened: The proposed logo – a large black &#8220;O&#8221; – was revealed at a recent company-wide meeting. This new design is a stark contrast to the current hexagonal flower symbol, which was designed to symbolize &#8220;precision, potential, and optimism.&#8221;
The unveiling of the new design was met with shock and disapproval, with some employees openly expressing their dislike during the meeting, <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/09/20/openai-staffers-unhappy-new-logo-design-ominous/">reports</a> Fortune. 
Insiders suggest that the logo redesign is part of a larger company overhaul scheduled for 2025. This revamp aligns with a planned significant modification to OpenAI&#8217;s corporate structure and an increased emphasis on revenue and investors.
The redesign process, which began about a year ago, is being handled by an internal team. This team consists of new hires from creative agencies and fields such as graphic design. The company&#8217;s current logo, referred to as &#8220;our most recognizable brand element,&#8221; was also developed internally.

Despite the strong reactions, the design of the new logo may undergo further changes, considering the staff&#8217;s attachment to the current logo and the negative feedback received. The final design is expected to be revealed as early as next year.
Why It Matters: The logo redesign is indicative of the broader changes taking place within OpenAI. As the company shifts its focus towards revenue and investors, it is also altering its corporate structure and brand identity. 
The strong reactions from employees highlight the significance of these changes and the potential impact they could have on the company&#8217;s culture and public perception. 
The final design of the logo, expected to be unveiled next year, will be a key indicator of the direction OpenAI is taking in this new phase of its evolution.

OpenAI's Employees See This Latest Creation As 'Ominous' – What Is It?

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has been seen sporting luxury watches that rival the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39999229/dont-look-now-but-zuckerbergs-threads-is-picking-up-steam">cost of a Tesla Cybertruck</a>.
What Happened: Zuckerberg was recently seen wearing a De Bethune DB 25 Starry Varius watch during an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QciJ9ubeLQk">interview</a>.
According to the report <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/19/lifestyle/mark-zuckerberg-wears-watch-that-costs-as-much-as-a-cybertruck/">by</a> The New York Post, this luxury timepiece is estimated to be worth between $90,000 and $95,700, nearly the price of a Tesla Cybertruck, which is listed at $99,990.
Earlier this month, Zuckerberg was photographed on Instagram alongside his wife, Priscilla Chan, wearing a Patek Phillipe watch — a 5236P model, which carries a price tag of more than $141,000.

This change in Zuckerberg&#8217;s style is a noticeable departure from his typical wardrobe of hoodies, jeans, and sneakers. His new fashion choices include designer pieces like an Alexander McQueen suit decorated with silver dragonflies.
Despite the speculation surrounding his style evolution, a spokesperson for Meta confirmed to The Times that Zuckerberg &#8220;mostly buys clothes he finds on Instagram&#8221; and occasionally seeks advice for formal events and occasions.
Why It Matters: Venky Ganesan, a partner at Menlo Ventures, suggests that Zuckerberg&#8217;s style evolution could be &#8220;very good for business.&#8221; 
As the CEO of a major tech company, his personal brand and image can influence public perception of the company. His shift towards more luxurious attire could reflect the company&#8217;s growth and success.
