Suozzi struck a tough tone on immigration, while Pilip seemed to drag her feet in acknowledging she had voted for Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. Suozzi continued that theme into his victory speech on Tuesday night, emphasizing that voters want politicians who will fix problems. Progressive Democrats laid the blame for Santos’ election and Republicans’ strong 2022 performance squarely at the feet of New York state Democratic Party chair Jay Jacobs. As a first-time congressional candidate facing a Democratic funding juggernaut, Pilip was outmatched by Suozzi at the debate and in field operations. After an eventful year and a half of Santos, voters were justifiably afraid of gambling on yet another political newcomer.

ROME (AP) — The guy who won the biggest race in the Olympics now lives in relative obscurity inside a gated community in Florida. And that suits Marcell Jacobs just fine after dealing with the chaos that surrounded his every move back home in Italy. He didn’t see his dad again until a meeting was arranged when Jacobs was 13, and the relationship is still strained. But being in Florida with his wife and two kids has allowed Jacobs to reconnect with the rest of his American family and improve his English. “Because you should never forget where you came from.”___AP coverage of the Paris Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games

☆ BlackRock's US head of thematic exchange-traded funds shares 3 sectors to invest in to fight inflation and set your portfolio up for long-term gains

Jacobs shared three inflation-resistant sectors to invest in for long-term gains. It's no different for Jay Jacobs, the US head of thematics and active equity exchange-traded funds at BlackRock, which manages $10 trillion in assets. Due to rising food prices, Jacobs also believes that agricultural technology firms focused on food innovation are another long-term beneficiary of lofty inflation levels. According to Jacobs, most costs are upfront for greener energy solutions, like the cost to build a wind turbine or solar panel. These include tax policies favoring renewable energy solutions, growing energy demand from consumers for cleaner options like electric vehicles, and the fact that renewable energy is often inherently cheaper than the electricity generated from fossil fuels.
