Your guide to how Washington shapes business and the economy
 | MON, JUN 24, 2019 | | | Hello readers,
Welcome to the new CNBC Politics newsletter, which will be delivered to your inbox on Mondays and Fridays. Our aim is to provide you a guide to how Washington shapes the economy and the business world – and what it all means for your money.
You should also check out our new 2020 Elections page. This week, we're looking ahead to the first Democratic debates of the presidential primary season. They will be split over Wednesday and Thursday, with 10 candidates taking the stage each night. Jacob Pramuk previews the top business and economic issues that will likely come up, while Brian Schwartz takes a look at the candidates who have received the most attention from big-money donors.
The debates will be a big test for the lower-tier candidates who hope to unseat President Trump. Valerie Block profiles one of these long shots, self-help guru Marianne Williamson, who will have to vie for attention on stage against front runners like Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. Indeed, the debates this week might give the Democratic Party its first real chance to pare back the oversaturated field.
No matter what happens at the debates, Trump looms over everything. He has the bully pulpit and is facing a pivotal moment in his presidency later this week: a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G-20 as the nations' trade war rages on. This week, we are featuring an investigative story from Kayla Tausche that serves as a cautionary tale for any potential U.S.-China trade deal.
