That news headline about presidential candidate Kamala Harris in your Google search results? It may have been written by her campaign. |
Harris' team has been launching sponsored posts on Google that link to real news content from various publishers but feature customized headlines and descriptions crafted by her campaign, a practice experts and Google called "common." One sponsored ad that links to NPR's website features the headline "Harris will Lower Health Costs." Another that links to the Associated Press reads "VP Harris's Economic Vision - Lower Costs and Higher Wages." The advertisements were first reported by Axios. |
How do the veep candidates manage their money? |
A record 58% of Americans owned stocks in 2022, according to the Federal Reserve. |
Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz was not one of them, Medora Lee reports. |
In fact, Walz didn't own many investments, based on what's been released. No stock, no bonds, no home or any other real estate. Instead, the former teacher and congressman's assets consisted mostly of pensions, whole life insurance and college savings, a 2019 filing showed. He and his wife, Gwen, earned $166,719 before taxes in 2022. |
Meanwhile, his Republican rival for the vice presidency, J.D. Vance, has a portfolio that includes stocks, real estate and cryptocurrency. |
