The U.S. economy grew briskly in the second quarter.Gross domestic product rose at a 2.8% annual rate in the second quarter, adjusted for seasonality and inflation, the Commerce Department said Thursday.That handily beat the 2.1% expected by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. The second-quarter pace marked a sharp acceleration from a rate of 1.4% in the first quarter.GDP is a broad measure of goods and services produced across the economy.Thursday’s report provides a snapshot of how the economy is doing, two years after soaring inflation prodded the Federal Reserve to start raising interest rates at the fastest pace in decades. Higher rates are meant to slow the economy. While the U.S. by many measures is doing well even amid high rates, and the pace of inflation has cooled, many Americans are unhappy that prices for groceries, cars and homes are so much higher than they were a few years ago.And even though predictions of a recession have faded, there are signs of weakness. A red-hot jobs market, which allowed millions of Americans to switch to jobs that paid more or fit them better, is starting to slow. Although the unemployment rate is still historically low, employers added jobs at a slower pace in the second quarter compared with the first.

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
