Democratic presidential candidate, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz walk out on stage together during a campaign event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The candidates in the 2024 election are finally clear. On the Republican ticket, former President Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. On the Democratic side? Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Both sets of candidates have been flying all over the country, campaigning in swing states that may decide the outcome of the race in November.

On Monday, a U.S. district judge ruled that Google “is a monopolist and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly” in a 277-page ruling.

The stock market tumbled on Monday. The S&P fell over 3 percent in a single day. There has been, however, a slight rebound as the week has continued. 

We cover the most important stories from around the country on the Friday news roundup.
