Investors accuse Florida businessman Patrick Orlando of diverting millions of Trump Media shares from them. Orlando was the CEO of the blank check firm that helped take Trump Media public. AdvertisementInvestors have accused the ex-CEO of the blank check firm that helped take the parent company of President-elect Donald Trump's social media site public of stiffing them out of million of shares. Orlando, his attorneys, and attorneys for ARC Global did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider on Thursday. "Specifically, as Managing Member of ARC, Orlando conveyed roughly 46% of ARC's membership interest to Franlu in a secret transaction for zero consideration in exchange."

On Tuesday afternoon, prior to either race being called, when asked what she would do in that scenario, McBride said she would be prepared to push back on another Trump term. McBride said she didn’t want “to downplay the danger that comes with a second Trump administration” for LGBTQ people, but that hope “only makes sense in the face of hardship.”“It has always been in our community’s biggest challenges that we take our most significant steps forward,” she said after voting in Wilmington. In a second Trump administration, she said, the country could see what an advocate in Florida described to her as “a slingshot moment.”“We’re pulled backward, but the force and the pressure of being pulled backwards ultimately propels us to destinations that we’ve not yet been,” she said. Some trans people told NBC News ahead of the election that they had plans to leave their states or even the country should Trump win another term. McBride said she didn’t run to be a spokesperson for any particular community other than her constituents in Delaware.

Democrat Angela Alsobrooks has won Maryland’s Senate race, NBC News projects, defeating popular former Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and becoming the first Black woman elected to represent the state in the Senate. It also means that, for the first time in history, Maryland will have a Black senator, governor and mayor of its largest city, Baltimore. Hogan could never quite replicate the support he received from Democrats as governor in his Senate campaign. In Hogan, many Marylanders saw a Republican who represented an increasingly rare version of the party prior to Trump’s takeover.

McBride, a Democrat, defeated Republican John Whalen III, taking 57.8% of the vote with 95% of the vote in.

Democratic Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester will become the first Black woman to represent Delaware in the Senate after she defeated Republican Eric Hansen and independent candidate Mike Katz, NBC News projects. Blunt Rochester, 62, told NBC News before Election Day that she had her sights set on creating jobs, protecting reproductive rights, health care and centering the needs of seniors and families. Blunt Rochester said that despite her lead in the polls, she took nothing for granted. In her grief, Blunt Rochester said, she sought direction and felt inspired to run for office. EMILY’s List, which supports women running for elected office, called Blunt Rochester a “groundbreaking leader” in a statement Tuesday night.

Donald Trump has won Pennsylvania. With 19 electoral votes, the state was highly coveted by both Trump and Kamala Harris. AdvertisementFormer President Donald Trump has won Pennsylvania, the pivotal swing state that was the most coveted state on the electoral map this year. With this victory, called by Fox News, CNN, and NBC News early Wednesday, Trump has secured the state's 19 electoral votes. Elon Musk, who donated over $100 million in favor of electing Trump, also campaigned in the state for the former president.

☆ Republicans will flip the Senate, CNN projects, shifting balance of power in Washington

CNN —Republicans will win the US Senate majority, CNN projects, shifting the balance of power in Washington. Should Harris prevail, she would face problems in confirming members of her Cabinet and judicial nominees, and the GOP Senate could thwart her domestic plans. Jim Justice was projected to pick up the Senate seat vacated by retiring Democrat-turned-independent Sen. Joe Manchin. And in Nebraska, CNN projects that Republican Sen. Deb Fischer will defeat a stronger-than-expected challenge from independent Dan Osborn, who, along with his allies, outspent Republican forces in the state. Alsobrooks will become just the fourth Black woman elected to the Senate after Democrat Lisa Blunt Rochester, the third, was projected to win Delaware’s open Senate seat earlier in the night.

☆ Where Harris’ campaign went wrong

It was a moment that encapsulated one of the biggest challenges facing her campaign – which, in the end, proved insurmountable. CNN spoke with over a dozen senior Harris campaign aides both in the Wilmington, Delaware, campaign headquarters and on the ground in the states, as well as multiple volunteers and local elected officials, over the course of the final weeks of the race. Vice President Kamala Harris makes her way to board Air Force Two before departing Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin on September 20. Biden could have taken on a role as steward and elder statesman, rather than a guy the Harris campaign never knew quite what do with. And those tensions manifested from almost the start of this short campaign, in the internal wrangling over who Harris should pick as her running mate.

In making a subsequent play for Blink, Planet Fitness has submitted two offers, according to the filings. Planet Fitness did not return request for comment from CNBC.

For President Joe Biden, the 2024 campaign ended much as it began, in a room full of union members. Even Biden at times would double-check with senior aides about looming actions, asking, “Have we run this by the vice president?” according to a senior official. Advisers are working on what Biden’s final weeks, and hours, in office will look like. “They’ll pull me aside, one leader after another, quietly, and say, ‘Joe, he can’t win. Harris’ first stop on the campaign’s final day was in Scranton, where for the second consecutive day she didn’t once mention Trump’s name.

OpenAI is one step closer to becoming a for-profit company. A for-profit structure would be much more conventional for the investors OpenAI is courting. Reports of the California attorney general's involvement in the process indicate the company is one step closer to formalizing the unprecedented shift, which would require the attorney general's approval. Neither OpenAI nor the California attorney general's office immediately responded to Business Insider's request for comment. A for-profit structure would be much more conventional for the big-name investors OpenAI is increasingly courting, including Microsoft and Nvidia.

CNN —Sarah McBride, a Delaware state senator, will win her state’s at-large US House seat, making her the first out transgender person to serve in Congress, CNN projects.

Operating EBITDA of $857 million in the quarter came in ahead of the $818 million consensus, according to FactSet.

For the electronics-and-industrial segment, management said operating EBITDA was helped, in part, by increased volume gains along with savings from productivity and restructuring actions.

Bomb threats roiled polling places in swing states, including Georgia, Arizona and Michigan.

The Summary For years, a special mud has been rubbed on every baseball before every major league game to make them less slippery. Called Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud, it comes from a single source: a secret spot along the banks of a tributary of the Delaware River. The magic mud is applied to every ball used in Major League Baseball, including in this year’s World Series. The authors concluded that any attempt to create a synthetic substance to replace the mud — something Major League Baseball has explored — would be foolish. An undated photo shows Burns Bintliff, a prior owner of Lena Blackburne Rubbing Mud, with a can of mud.

☆ This tactic to avoid income taxes without moving to Florida could surge thanks to a 'silver tsunami'

Dan Griffith of Huntington Bank expects ING trusts will surge in popularity with dealmaking on the rebound coinciding with a "silver tsunami." However, Wyoming and South Dakota are also options as they do not tax trust income or capital gains and protect trust assets from creditors. "This can apply even if they don't live in a state with a state income tax." Since beneficiaries do have to pay state income taxes — if applicable — when they receive distributions. ING trusts cannot be used to defer income taxes on salaries or income from tangible assets in the state.
