Happening in the World: The Japanese owner of 7-Eleven, the globally popular convenience store chain, was offered a $38 billion takeover bid from Canadian competitor Alimentation Couche-Tard. The owner of 7-Eleven rejected this bid because of its undervaluation of his company. This offer comes while the Japanese yen is weaker than the US dollar, making foreign buyers more competitive.

Happening in the US: In August, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign raised $361 million, almost triple what Donald Trump raised in the same month. Mr. Trump raised $130 million last month.
