Out-cue: reducing their inventories]
TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. The state of the U.S. economy has seized Americans’ attention as the election season has intensified. Although inflation has slowed sharply, to 3.5% from 9.1% in 2022, prices remain well above their pre-pandemic levels.
———————————-
VERBATIM: The economy grew at an annual rate of 1.6%, in a sign that the high interest rates may be taking a toll on borrowing and spending. The gross domestic product decelerated from its brisk 3.4% growth rate in the final three months of 2023. Consumers continued to drive growth last quarter, but slowed their spending. Growth was also held back down by businesses reducing their inventories.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in former President Trump’s immunity case. Justices will be determining whether Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in a federal case charging him with 2020 election interference. His lawyers say former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity — an argument that was flatly rejected by the judge overseeing the federal case. If the high court rules against Trump and in favor of the government, the case would be returned to federal court and the setting of a trial date.

Evangelicals want action on immigration
VERBATIM: According to a new survey by LifeWay Research, the surge in illegal border crossings during the Biden administration is worrying Evangelical Christians. 80% want Congress to take action to stop the flow. Lifeway spokesman Scott McConnell says “The urgency continues to grow for Congress to act this year to improve laws around immigration.” The poll also finds that Evangelicals are concerned for the welfare of illegal aliens and want to share the gospel with them.
