The red wave that so many were expecting has seemingly fallen flat on its face, and one can expect the Democrats are breathing a cautious sigh of relief today

We’re standing by to take you live to the White House as President Biden delivers his first remarks since the polls closed on Tuesday.

As it stands, the Republican party will likely regain control of the House, but the Senate still hangs in the balance.

All eyes are now on Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

In Georgia, the contest between Republican Herschel Walker and Democrat Raphael Warnock is just too close to call.

It’s likely this will be the seat which ultimately decides what party controls the Senate, but we won’t know the result until December 6 when there is an election runoff.

In the key state of Pennsylvania, Democrat John Fetterman, the man who suffered a stroke in May, has defeated his Republican opponent Mehmet Oz.

Regardless, if the Democrats do lose control of either chamber, the GOP will be able to block President Joe Biden’s agenda.

Meanwhile, in Florida, governor Ron DeSantis is staring down the barrel of a 2024 presidential bid after a convincing win in his state.

Appeals court blocks Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve ahead of crucial interest rate meeting

In Short:
– A federal appeals court has blocked Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve board.
– Trump’s expected Supreme Court appeal raises concerns about the Federal Reserve’s independence and market stability.

A federal appeals court has blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve board.

The decision comes just before a crucial meeting regarding potential interest rate changes.The court determined that the Trump administration did not meet the requirements for an appeal against a prior ruling that had already blocked Cook’s removal.

Cook has faced allegations of mortgage fraud, which she denies. Her lawyers assert she has not committed any wrongdoing, and documentation reviewed by NBC News supports her position.

Trump is expected to appeal this ruling to the Supreme Court.

The legal context for Cook’s position at the Federal Reserve highlights that removal can only occur “for cause,” under the Federal Reserve Act. Analysts warn that firing Cook may destabilise the Federal Reserve, which is critical for market stability.
