Trump, Vance GOP ticket to push U.S. economic revival

Trump touted his 'drill, baby, drill' plans for the U.S. energy sector if he's elected

Outside the RNC, Federal Reserve Chairman Jereoe Powell delivered some optimistic news to Wall Street as Trump weighed in on whether he'd keep the central bank leader in his role if he wins the White House.
