In the central bank’s latest decision, the Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rate by 25bps. While Democrats wrestle with what went wrong for Vice President Harris, Republicans are making plans for President-Elect Trump 2.0. Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and former Trump staffer turned Harris-backer Anthony Scaramucci debate immigration policy and whether the country can “turn the page” under the new administration. Plus, Susie Wiles will be Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff, the Washington Post has called employees back to the office five days a week, and a New Jersey voter endorsed a certain Squawk anchor for president.
