Recent consumer research by McKinsey revealed that 46% of surveyed electric vehicle owners in the U.S. are considering switching back to gasoline cars, the second-highest rate globally after Australia's 49%. The main reason cited for wanting to abandon electric cars was the lack of charging infrastructure, along with concerns about a lack of charging stations near their homes and anxiety about long-distance travel. Despite efforts in improving electric vehicle range and charging times, inadequate infrastructure in some areas still forces reliance on gasoline cars, particularly due to the impracticality or high cost of current electric car models. The Biden administration has allocated $7.5 billion to build charging infrastructure and plans to increase the number of EV charging stations by 500,000 by 2030. However, progress has been slow, with only a few charging stations operational since the program was approved two years ago.

In the second quarter of 2024, U.S. bond yields experienced fluctuations with rates climbing for the second consecutive quarter. Despite a decrease in the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation in May, bond yields remained high due to other positive economic indicators like the surge in the Chicago Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) and the final Michigan University Consumer Confidence Survey. Analysts suggest that traders may have rushed to settle positions at the end of the month and quarter, leading to selling pressure and offsetting the optimistic sentiment caused by the decrease in PCE inflation.

According to a report by the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russian elites and oligarchs have reportedly shifted their attitudes from criticizing the Russia-Ukraine war to supporting it. This change is believed to stem from a belief that Russia will win the war, although ISW notes that the shift occurred after the Russian government heavily suppressed dissenting voices following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Russian opposition TV channel TV Rain's founder Mikhail Zygar stated that many elites who opposed the war in 2022 now support it due to Russia's perceived advantage on the battlefield and the weakening Western support for Ukraine.

Biden's poor performance in a recent debate has caused panic within the Democratic Party, leading to considerations of nominating a stronger candidate to battle against Trump. Potential successors include Vice President Harris, several Democratic governors such as Newsom of California and Whitmer of Michigan, as well as Democratic governors in traditional Republican states like Bashir of Kentucky and Cooper of North Carolina. However, Harris, although favored within the party, faces questions about her ability to defeat Trump, while Newsom has been seen as preparing for a potential presidential bid in 2028. Whitmer is viewed as a potential successor to Biden due to her strong performance as Michigan's governor and national recognition for her response to public health challenges.
