  As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump enter the final week of their campaigns, the race remains tight in several key swing states, each essential for securing the Electoral College majority. In Georgia, Trump maintains a narrow lead, hovering around 48-49% compared to Harris's 47-48%, according to RealClearPolitics and other polling aggregates. This margin highlights the state’s competitiveness, given Georgia’s recent Democratic gains in the 2020 election. Michigan presents a mixed picture, with Harris holding slight leads in some polls, like FiveThirtyEight’s 47.8% to Trump’s 47%.

In Pennsylvania, a vital state for both candidates, Harris is either slightly ahead or in a statistical tie with Trump, depending on the poll. With both ca...

The latest Marketable Borrowing Estimates from the Treasury indicate plans to borrow $546 billion from October to December, $19 billion less than previously forecasted in July. This adjustment is attributed to a higher starting cash balance, offset partially by lower net cash flows. From July to September, Washington borrowed $762 billion, exceeding initial projections by $22 billion. In the January to March quarter, the Treasury plans to borrow $823 billion, aiming for an end-of-March cash balance of $850 billion.

Pakistan has launched a nationwide polio vaccination campaign targeting 45 million children under five, following a concerning rise in new cases. Despite regular efforts, Pakistan remains one of only two countries where polio has yet to be eradicated. The campaign will run for a week, during which health workers will go door-to-door, vaccinating young children and providing them with Vitamin A supplements to strengthen immunity. However, these efforts face serious risks, as health workers and their police escorts are often threatened or attacked by militants who falsely claim the vaccination drive is a Western ploy to harm children. This misinformation has fueled violence, adding a significant challenge to eradicating polio. Ayesha Raza Farooq, an adv...
