As the 2024 election race reaches critical stages, renowned political strategist David Axelrod sheds light on the various "wild card" factors, or "imponderables," that could ultimately decide the outcome.

The pharmaceutical giant also revised its annual profit outlook downward, adjusting the high end of its revenue guidance. Eli Lilly reported $11.4 billion in revenue for Q3, which, while marking a 20% year-over-year increase, fell short of analysts’ projections of $12.17 billion.
