But slowing down and saying less might have actually helped him perform better during Thursday's debate, Carmie McCook, a DC-based public speaking coach, told Business Insider.

McCook said Biden also takes time to express his thoughts in speech, due to his lifelong stutter, which didn't help his optics. Max Burns, a Democratic strategist, said on X that Biden needs to get out to rallies to "push back against the stiff and meandering image he portrayed on Thursday."

(AP) — A Democratic state lawmaker in Nebraska who unsuccessfully ran for governor two years ago is seeking a seat in the U.S. House. She hopes to challenge Republican Rep. Mike Flood, who served in the state legislature with Blood until he was elected to Congress. Blood was running for governor at the time, a race she lost to Republican Jim Pillen. “I’m running because we can do better and bring back a strong voice in D.C. that represents all Nebraskans, not the vocal minority,” she said. So far no other Democrats have filed for the primary or announced plans to run.

"It's tough you know, but I think through the years I've competed it has helped me to understand and focus on what matters," Bolt told reporters on Friday. "I will leave the matter in my lawyer's hands and focus on my family, try not to think too much about it because it's a stressful situation," the 11-time world champion added. The Jamaica Constabulary Force said its fraud and financial investigation teams were probing "alleged fraudulent activities at (SSL) which are said to have affected the accounts of Mr. Usain Bolt among other individuals." Bolt's account was intended to serve as a pension for the eight-time Olympic champion and for his parents, Gordon said.

☆ Electric cars won't just solve tailpipe emissions — they may even strengthen the US power grid, experts say

Millions more electric vehicles on the road could make the US power grid more resilient. However, energy and transportation experts say that with some planning, utilities are fully capable of handling more clean cars plugging in. Better yet, electric SUVs, trucks, and buses can strengthen the grid if deployed smartly. EVs can store energy for when it's needed mostWhen electric cars are parked (which is most of the time), their batteries can collectively become a valuable asset to the greater grid, experts say. Electric cars could do just that, he said.

Patient advocates were disappointed with Sunday’s vote — Republican senators blocked the $35 insulin cap for private insurers — and expressed hope that federal and state measures could be included in legislation down the road. Clayton McCook of Edmond, Oklahoma, is among those who support capping the cost of insulin for people with private health insurance. A federal insulin cap for private insurance would have made “a huge difference to our family,” he said. “This year, with an evenly divided Senate, the insulin cap for people with private insurance didn’t secure enough votes,” Neuman said. McCook also advocated for changes besides a cap on insulin costs, saying Congress pass legislation that would lower the list price.
