</h2>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
President Biden sought to reinvigorate his re-election campaign, delivering an animated and mostly gaffe-free

<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
In the prime-time slot, he pitched Bidenomics as delivering for Americans, and outlined a policy wish-list that may appeal to progressive voters and some in his party but which could also put him at loggerheads with big corporations.

<span>
with Donald Trump, Biden sought to frame the presidential race in stark terms for the democracy while holding business to account.

Among the areas that could rankle business leaders:
</span>
<span>
a call to

raise the minimum tax on multinationals
</a>
<span>
to 21 percent — a move that would seem to target pharmaceutical companies in particular. He also singled out “Big Oil, private jets, and massive executive pay” in his speech as areas ripe for boosting tax revenue.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
Biden’s proposals go against the heart of some Trump-era policies, and that’s not going down well with some business groups.
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
Neil Bradley,
</a>
<span>
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s chief policy officer, said the Biden plan “would actually result in lower economic growth, fewer new business starts, less job creation, and fewer choices for American families.”

<span style="font-weight:700;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#000">
Biden stressed the sharp contrast with Trump.
</span>
<span>
The president has struggled to convince Americans that Bidenomics is helping them, despite big industrial policy decisions like the Inflation Reduction Act and action to contain last year’s regional banking crisis.

Is time running out for TikTok?

<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
A House bill that would force TikTok to do more to cut ties with China is moving inexorably toward a vote despite a campaign by the social media giant to galvanize users to fight back.

</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">

That sets up a fight that could have ripple effects on U.S.-China relations, the presidential election and the American investment firms with big stakes in TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers approved the legislation, 50-0.
</span>
<span>
The influential House Energy and Commerce Committee yesterday passed the bill that calls for TikTok to be banned from American app stores unless ByteDance divests from it. Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the majority leader, said the bill would be submitted for a full House vote next week.

Murati said Altman’s playbook was to charm people to gain their support only to turn on them if they disagreed.
