First time reading? Sign up here. American Fact of the Day! A rare American sports fact: In 1904, during the Olympic Games held in St. Louis, Missouri, the marathon included several unusual occurrences. One participant, Fred Lorz, initially finished first but was disqualified when it was discovered he had hitched a ride for part of the race. The eventual winner, Thomas Hicks, was given strychnine (a poison in small doses) and brandy by his trainers to help him finish the race, which was not uncommon at the time. These incidents led to significant changes in marathon rules and practices in subsequent Olympic Games. Breaking Updates Trump and Biden's First Presidential Debate of 2024 is Here. Here's What to Know. President Biden and former President Donald Trump are slated to engage in their first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET, hosted by CNN. This marks the first time either candidate has appeared on a debate stage since 2020. The event will be simulcast on networks like CBS and CBS News 24/7 streaming. Trump will have the final word of the night, while Biden had the choice of podium placement. During the debate, their microphones will be muted except when it's their turn to speak. The debate will exclusively feature Biden and Trump as the two major party nominees. Other candidates, including independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., failed to meet CNN's criteria for participation, which required candidates to achieve at least 15% support in four national polls and have sufficient ballot access across states. Moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, the debate will take place at CNN's studios in Atlanta without a live audience to maximize discussion time. While CNN has not disclosed specific topics, potential issues may include border security, immigration, abortion rights, the economy, and concerns over the health and age of the candidates. Following this debate, Biden and Trump have agreed to a second debate hosted by ABC News on September 10, foregoing the traditional three debates organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates. A vice presidential debate is also anticipated for either July 23 or August 13, pending confirmation of Trump's running mate. The debates represent critical moments in the campaign as both candidates vie for voter support ahead of the election.

However, the test revealed that banks could potentially face higher losses in a severe recession compared to previous years, largely due to increased risks and higher operating costs incurred since the onset of the pandemic. Since the financial crisis that precipitated the Great Recession, these stress tests have become crucial tools for monitoring and identifying vulnerabilities within the banking sector. Following the collapse of three US banks last year, the tests have gained heightened significance in assessing the overall stability of the financial system. The stress test results indicated that under this year's hypothetical economic scenario, which mirrored previous years', the 31 banks involved would experience greater losses. Factors contributing to this include heightened credit card debt levels, which recently hit a record high, and an increase in late payments, leading to projected losses in credit card portfolios. Additionally, banks' fee income was lower, reducing their capacity to absorb potential losses. Despite these challenges, Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr emphasized that the tests confirm the banks have sufficient capital reserves to withstand severe stress scenarios, ensuring they can absorb losses and continue operating effectively.
