A Major Change at The Rundown

We're shaking things up as we approach the most consequential election in U.S. history. 

Starting Monday, we're kicking off our “90 Days to Decision” countdown. 

That’s because Wednesday, Aug. 7 is exactly 90 days until Election Day, Nov. 5.

And there is quite a bit on the line.

In recent days, one presidential candidate dropped out of the race and another survived an assassination attempt. 

Thus far, the markets have barely shrugged.

But what other surprises could be around the corner and how do you prepare?

That’s what we’re going to show you over the next three months.

Don't worry — you'll still get our signature financial insights and market analysis. 

But we're turning our spotlight on the election's potential impact on your wallet and the economy at large.

Our team of editors is diving deep into the D.C. stories that aren't making headlines… but should be. 

We're talking insider info, policy deep-dives and the kind of analysis you won't find anywhere else.

So while you might notice a shift in our usual commentary, it's all part of our mission to keep you informed and financially savvy. 

Buckle up, folks. The next 90 days are going to be one hell of a ride…

By the way, in your email inbox, you’ll notice a small change. 

Instead of The Rundown you’ll see Election Insider - The Rundown starting on Monday at 9 a.m. ET. 

Again, everything’s the same except for our laser-focus on the election and its implications when it comes to your wealth. 

[Feedback wanted: Which election-related topics would you like The Rundown to tackle? Got a burning question? We’ll answer!]

You might not always like the answer… but fire away!
