CNBC had an accidental blunder during a live interview with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Wednesday.

The television network was interviewing the long-time Democrat about President Donald Trump abruptly canceling the signing of a bipartisan housing bill and the economic fallout during Trump's second administration when the mix-up happened.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) leveled CNBC's Joe Kernen on Thursday for fear-mongering over the professed socialist who won the Democratic primary for New York City's mayoral race.

In a shocking outcome this week, 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo to clinch the Democratic nomination.

CNBC quoted Krishna Guha, head of global policy and central bank strategy, as saying, "There is 'fresh buzz' around the idea that Trump could announce his choice to succeed Powell soon, 'as a shadow Fed chair in the interim,'" until Powell's term ends....

President Donald Trump's education secretary Linda McMahon drew scathing criticism on social media for touting academic research that falls in line with the Trump administration's values.

McMahon told CNBC on Wednesday, "Universities should continue to be able to do research as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync, I think, with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish."

Her comments followed in the wake of Trump's recent attacks on Harvard University over issues of free speech and academic freedoms. ...
