Vice President Kamala Harris is sitting down with CNN today for her first off script interview with a major news outlet, as new polling shows how close the race is in key states. The US economy grew at a better rate than we thought last quarter. The CDC wants you to check your fridge amid a deadly listeria outbreak. A new poll lays out how Americans feel about US military aid for Israel, while the death toll rises from Israel's operation in the West Bank. And, the 2024 Paralympics get underway after a spectacular opening ceremony in Paris.
