9 Killed in More Explosions in Lebanon; House to Vote on Funding Bill; Fed to Cut Interest Rate
Update: 2024-09-18
Description
Explosions went off in Beirut and several other parts of Lebanon on Wednesday in an apparent second wave of detonations of electronic devices used by the Hezbollah terrorist group. The country's Health Ministry said at least 9 people were killed and more than 300 wounded.
The House is scheduled to vote on Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown before Oct. 1. The bill would link with a mandate that requires proof of citizenship when people register to vote.
The Federal Reserve is poised to cut its benchmark interest rate for the first time in more than four years. The move is expected to lower borrowing costs for consumers and businesses just weeks before the presidential election.
