Auto-Used

Dealers are increasingly self-sourcing used cars through trades, lease returns or direct purchases, as wholesale auction prices remain unexpectedly strong. Cox Automotive notes that tight supply will persist, preventing steep price drops, especially for nearly new cars 3 years old or younger.

Miscellaneous

U.S. adults on TikTok follow entertainment and pop culture accounts more than news or politics, according to Pew Research. Influencers and traditional celebrities dominate these accounts, with far fewer politicians, journalists or civic figures followed by users.

Political

Forty percent of U.S. voters expect to vote early in 2024, a rate similar to past elections, though lower than 2020. More Democrats than Republicans plan to vote early, reflecting the growing partisan divide in early voting preferences.
