Marilyn Lands, a Democrat, won a special election Tuesday for a State House seat in Alabama after campaigning on access to abortion and in vitro fertilization, underscoring the continued political potency of reproductive rights. Ms. Lands defeated her Republican opponent, Teddy Powell, by about 25 percentage points — an extraordinary margin in a swing district where she lost by seven points in 2022. The special election was called when David Cole, the Republican who had held the seat, resigned and pleaded guilty to voter fraud. “Today, Alabama women and families sent a clear message that will be heard in Montgomery and across the nation,” Ms. Lands, a licensed counselor, said Tuesday night. And last month, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos were people with rights — upending I.V.F.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday celebrated results from CNBC's most recent Delivering Alpha Stock Survey, in which a majority of investors predicted the market had run too high and that a pullback is on the horizon. He told investors to welcome a decline and to raise some cash to buy quality stocks at lower prices. "I think people are right to expect a pullback here," Cramer said. While it's wise to raise some cash to prepare for a pullback, Cramer also suggested riding out some of the turbulence. When investors are always trying to avoid the next pullback, they may end up missing the next rally, he said.

Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw denounced Ancora Holdings, the activist investor currently engaged in a proxy fight with the railroad company's board, during an interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday. "We've gone to the activist, and we've offered a settlement — their responses have been unreasonable at the determination of our board," he said. Norfolk Southern faced criticism over the past year after one of its freight trains derailed in East Palestine, Ohio in February 2023 and released toxic chemicals into the soil, water and air. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, 90 minutes from East Palestine, Ancora challenged Norfolk Southern in February, aiming to add eight directors to the board and oust Shaw as CEO. "We enhanced safety, we're making it right in East Palestine," Shaw said.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday told investors he thinks the government's antitrust lawsuits against prominent names in Big Tech — Apple , Alphabet 's Google and Amazon — aren't justified. "Honestly, I wish the White House would just admit the truth: They want to make the biggest businesses less powerful," he said. The DOJ also alleged Apple has a "smartphone monopoly" that makes it difficult and pricey for consumers and developers to venture outside the Apple ecosystem. If they annihilate Google, I guess we'll take our queries to Claude 3," Cramer said. "And if they get [Apple CEO] Tim Cook, maybe for the first time, someone will want a Nokia smartphone."

CNBC's Jim Cramer gave investors his take on the valuation of Astera Labs , a company that went public last week and sells data center connectivity chips to cloud and artificial intelligence outfits. To Cramer, the stock debuted too hot and is more expensive than it should be at this point. "While Astera Labs has a good story — and it is good, I think it'd be worth owning at some price — I think it's way too expensive at this price," he said. Last week, Wall Street was buzzing about Reddit 's long-awaited initial public offering, but Cramer found Astera Labs to be intriguing. However, Cramer said he felt positive about some aspects of the business, saying if Astera Labs can keep putting up sales growth, it's headed in the right direction.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday said he believes Nvidia will revolutionize enterprise. "The sum of all that Nvidia's doing will indeed create the next industrial revolution, because Nvidia's about the speed with which we can arrive at smarter, better answers," he said after attending the company's conference in San Francisco. Cramer reaffirmed his belief that the company is worth its $2.2 trillion valuation. To Cramer, Nvidia's market value isn't as apparent as tech peers like Microsoft , Alphabet or Amazon , which offer services that are clearly seen as valuable by consumers. But Nvidia is enterprise-oriented, he said, which makes the company "a behind-the-scenes kind of story."

CNBC's Jim Cramer said he felt drawn to the stock market when he was in the fourth grade. His father gave him a rudimentary explanation of the market, comparing the way investors studied stocks' performance to how sports fans studied that of players. Cramer was eager to start trying to track stocks and figure out which ones would go higher, so he began keeping a ledger with various company names. Cramer's childhood stock market "obsession" convinced him that it's never too early to start training young investors. "Get them started early, and they may play for life because, alas, the stock market, it's a long-term contest," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jack Lobel is a college sophomore who will be voting in his first presidential election this fall, casting a ballot for Joe Biden. “If age were really a concern we would not see this much energy around these groups," said Lobel, an urban studies major in New York. “President Biden comes before midterms and exams and papers,” Lobel said, only half-joking. The groups' affinity for the president is little surprise given that young people tend to be more left-leaning than many other voting blocs. Still, it may soften the blow of many voters' concerns about Biden's age.
