Stocks Rally on Strait Opening and Dem Challengers Outraise Incumbents

from Here's the Scoop · host Christine Romans, Brian Cheung, Bridget Bowman

Wall Street seems to be pricing in an end to the war in the Middle East. After Iran said it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, stocks rebounded to record highs and the price of oil plummeted. But as NBC News Business and Data Correspondent Brian Cheung explains to fill-in host Christine Romans, it might be a while before consumers see any relief. Then, recent Federal Election Commission data shows some Democratic primary challengers are out-fundraising their incumbent opponents. NBC News National Political Reporter Bridget Bowman illustrates how the findings show generational divides within the Democratic Party — and what that could portend for the midterms.
