Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will visit North Carolina on Monday amid concerns from his Republican allies that crippling damage from storm Helene will depress turnout in the battleground state's conservative mountain regions. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris planned to campaign in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania with former Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney, who has warned that Trump is a threat to democracy and should not be elected on Nov. 5. Harris, arguing that Trump is unfit to serve, is turning to Cheney to try to enlist support from more Republican voters who cannot fathom the idea of handing the former president another four years in the White House after a tumultuous 2017-2021 term.
Pakistan approved changes to the constitution on Monday, which included empowering parliament to pick the Supreme Court's chief justice, drawing criticism from opposition parties who said it was an attempt to subvert the judiciary. Pakistan's top court has become a battleground between the government and jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, ruling on issues ranging from a controversial national election to a potential military court trial for Khan and his supporters. The constitutional changes were approved in an extraordinary session of parliament which was assembled on Sunday, a public holiday, and ran all night, concluding close to dawn on Monday.

For people working today, the challenge of saving for retirement differs by generation. Gen Zs and millennials have been dealing with paying down immediate debts and credit card balances, Lorna Sabbia, head of workplace benefits at Bank of America (BAC), told Yahoo Finance. “So sometimes that is the priority versus long-term planning. And so to balance those two things (is) a little bit more difficult.” Gen X, Sabbia said, seems to feel the weight of impending retirement heavily, reporting a marked drop in their overall feeling of financial wellness in recent years. And there’s one burden weighing on workers of every age: caregiving. About 50% of employees are caregivers — and they don't want to tell anybody about it. ‘It’s not like they're walking around their workplaces with a t-shirt that says ‘I'm a caregiver,’ Sabbia said. “But in reality, they're dealing with those additional expenses. So it's more of a struggle. On average, we find folks actually spend $7,000 a year out of pocket.” That can be small expenses, like buying meals for a relative recovering from surgery, but added together they take available money away from retirement savings. There’s a disconnect between working caregivers and employers. While most employers say they offer support to caregivers, 6 in 10 of caregivers are not aware of available support, Sabbia added. So what should companies provide in financial wellness programs? “First of all, … the majority of companies do believe today it is their responsibility to help their employees on their own financial wellness. So we start there. That's a really great thing,” she said. But to provide meaningful ongoing support, they need to be looking at the right measures. Employees’ stress levels, for example, as well as whether they have enough saved for retirement based on their time horizon, and how confident they feel about reaching a level of security. “So it's a constant moving target depending on the company and the employees within that company,” she said. “But it should be ongoing metrics that drive the answer.” You can find our Breaking Barriers: Women's Financial Freedom Panel here or watch on your preferred streaming service.
