SCOTUS Follow-Up, a Nail-Biter in South Carolina, and Nvidia's Big Test

This episode of The Morning Rundown breaks down three major stories: the Supreme Court’s latest move on mail-in voting rules, the razor-thin Republican runoff in South Carolina for Lindsey Graham’s former Senate seat, and why Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report has investors on edge. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how the new Supreme Court order shapes federal agencies’ roles in mail-in voting, what the South Carolina race reveals about the current strength of a Trump endorsement, and how a single earnings report from Nvidia could ripple through index funds and the broader stock market. Supreme Court follow-up: Explanation of the 6-3 ruling, the Department of Homeland Security’s citizenship list, and new USPS ballot-design rulemaking, along with what remains blocked and what is still unknown. Election rules in practice: Why national standards for ballot design matter for voters, election officials, and future legal fights over mail-in ballots. South Carolina GOP runoff: The close race between Sen. Darline Graham and Rep. Ralph Norman, framed as a test of Trump’s endorsement influence and how party insiders are reading the stakes. Trump-world implications: How the outcome could shape expectations and strategy in other Trump-aligned primaries without overreacting to a single contest. Nvidia and the market: What analysts expect from Nvidia’s earnings, how those expectations tie into AI-driven spending, and why index-fund investors are exposed even if they never bought a chip stock. Stay through the end for a concise recap that connects the legal, political, and market stories into a single picture of what to watch this week.
