Time: 26s
Title: POWELL-COMPLAINTS-house-q-TUEam
Out-cue: them from expanding]

TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. Powell traveled to York on Monday to learn about the efforts of the long-time manufacturing hub to diversify its economy.

———————————-
VERBATIM: Federal Reserve officials typically gather many of their insights and observations about the economy from some of the top Ph.D. economists in Washington. However, Powell heard from small business people who are grappling personally with inflation, high interest rates, labor shortages and other challenges of the post-pandemic economy. They told Powell they are still having trouble finding all the workers they need. Higher interest rates have discouraged some of them from expanding.

Former President Trump Kicks Off Campaign Events

Sat, Jan 28, 2023 at 10:16 pm

The former President is kicking off his 2024 campaign with two stops along the East Coast. More from Correspondent Bernie Bennett.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, appearances in early-voting states marking the first campaign events since announcing his latest run more than two months ago.

Those states hold two of the party’s first three nominating contests, giving them enormous power in selecting the nominee.

Mr. Trump and his allies hope the events will offer a show of force behind the former president after a sluggish start to his campaign. In recent weeks, his backers have reached out to political operatives and elected officials to secure support for Mr. Trump at a critical point when other Republicans are preparing their own expected challenges.
