X Marks the Spot for Advertisers, Taking Stock with a Bidenomics Alum, and Sorkin’s News You Can Use 8/09/23

President Joe Biden’s economic approval numbers have risen modestly in the wake of efforts by the White House to promote what it calls “Bidenomics.” Still, a substantial majority of respondents to the CNBC All-America Economic Survey still disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy. Brian Deese, MIT Innovation fellow and former National Economic Council Director under President Biden, discusses the state of the U.S. economy, the impact of Bidenomics, and why results haven’t been reflected in polls. Aneesh Chopra, first U.S. chief technology officer in the Obama administration and CareJourney president, discusses X’s efforts to win back advertisers with a new deal with Integral Ad Science. CNBC’s Steve Kovach also has an inside look at the new strategy. Plus, Disney’s ESPN is launching a betting sportsbook and Lyft has a tumultuous quarter, but veteran rider Andrew Ross Sorkin has the top tips ride-share users need.
