Kamala Harris's election strategy focused on abortion rights, leveraging claims that the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade would harm women. Despite expectations, the abortion electorate did not mobilize in 2024, as economic issues took precedence for voters.
Contrary to predictions, abortion rates have increased since the ruling, with many women traveling to obtain services. Experts now suggest that barriers to access may have lessened, contradicting earlier fears. This shift indicates that the Democratic narrative around abortion may not resonate as intended.

Forbes: Fed Leaning Toward ‘Gradual’ Future Interest Rate Cuts
Federal Reserve officials are divided on future interest rate cuts, with a recent meeting indicating a cautious approach as inflation moderates but remains above target.

Market expectations show a 60% chance of another rate cut at the December meeting, which would lower the target range to 4.25% to 4.5%. Despite recent cuts, mortgage rates have not decreased as anticipated, largely due to rising Treasury yields and concerns over ongoing inflation and government debt.
