Jay Jones wins Democratic nomination for Virginia attorney general
Former Del. Jay Jones will look to be the face of legal resistance to President Donald Trump in Virginia after winning the Democratic nomination for attorney general. The race was closely watched among the down-ballot contests in Tuesday's Democratic primary election. He will face Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares in the November general election. Democrats are also nominating a candidate for lieutenant governor from a field of six candidates, who remained locked in a tight race Tuesday night. Jones defeated Shannon Taylor for the Democratic nomination in the race for attorney general despite his opponent casting him as lacking criminal prosecutorial experience. Jones, who represented Norfolk in the House of Delegates for four years, comes from a long line of Hampton Roads politicians. His father was also a delegate, and his grandfather was the first Black member of the Norfolk School Board. Jones previously ran for attorney general in 2021 but lost the primary to Democratic incumbent Mark Herring. State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi led former Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney in the Democratic primary battle for lieutenant governor by a narrow margin. Ballots remained to be counted, and close margins made the race too early to call. The races will determine Democrats' statewide ticket and set the stage for a bellwether election later this year. Most of the nominees slated to be at the top of the November ticket have already been picked, and Republicans aren't having a statewide primary. The November gubernatorial election is sure to make history. Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who ran for the Democratic nomination unopposed, will battle Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears — the only Republican who qualified for the ballot. Their candidacies all but guarantee that Virginia will have a female governor — a first in the state's history since Patrick Henry's governorship nearly 250 years ago. Virginia is one of two states that host statewide elections the year after a presidential election — New Jersey is the other — and the races are typically seen as referendums on the party in power before Congress heads into midterm elections. Analysts will be looking for clues in both states about voter sentiment with Trump back in the Oval Office and Republicans controlling power in Washington. Democrats' hold on Virginia has slipped in recent years, moving it close to swing-state status nationally. Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin beat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe in 2021. And although Democrats narrowly gained back complete control of the Legislature in a 2023 election, then-Vice President Kamala Harris won Virginia last year by less than six points, compared to former President Joe Biden's 10-point lead in 2020. Still, Democrats have history on their side: The party of the sitting president typically suffers defeat in Virginia's statewide races. And considering Trump has never won the state, Democrats are probably better positioned to make gains once their ticket solidifies. The six Democrats vying to be Virginia's next lieutenant governor aren't all that different on the issues: They support rights to abortion, a living wage, affordable housing and accessible health care. They also share similar criticisms of Trump. The candidates notably fracture along regional lines, and distinctions emerge in what they have emphasized in stump speeches along the campaign trail. Stoney has touted his ties to the Democratic Party and experience working under former Govs. Mark Warner and Terry McAuliffe. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg endorsed his campaign in June. Hashmi is also from the Richmond area, representing part of the city and suburbs. Hashmi has pushed reproductive health in her bid and has been endorsed by abortion rights political action committees. Virginia state Sen. Aaron Rouse, from Virginia Beach with ties to southwest Virginia, has also highlighted his legislative accomplishments. Prince William County School Board Chair Babur Lateef, former federal prosecutor Victor Salgado and retired US Department of Labor worker Alex Bastani are from northern Virginia. Lateef, an eye surgeon, has honed in on education and health care. Salgado has stressed the importance of strengthening democracy, and Bastani has emphasized labor rights. Only one Republican candidate in each statewide contest is advancing to the ballot. Earle-Sears became the gubernatorial nominee after Republicans Dave LaRock and Amanda Chase failed to collect enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. Both LaRock and Chase initially challenged Earle-Sears for not being fully aligned with Trump. Conservative talk-radio host John Reid became the de facto nominee for lieutenant governor after his primary opponent left the race, and despite intraparty quarreling over whether he was tied to a social media account reposting pornography. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares sailed to his spot on the ballot after announcing his reelection bid. All 100 seats of the House of Delegates are up for election in November, and some nomination contests took place in Virginia's more competitive districts. Democrat May Nivar won her primary race and will be taking on Republican incumbent Del. David Owen in a Richmond-area district that House liberals are vying to flip. Democrat Lindsey Dougherty won her primary race and will battle Republican Del. Carrie Coyner in a Petersburg-area district. Republicans and Democrats also had separate primaries to fill a competitive seat in the Chesapeake area, which opened after Republican Rep. Baxter Ennis announced his retirement. Republican Michael Lamonea and Democrat Karen Carnegie won their respective primaries for that seat.

Solar stocks are plummeting as the Senate version of Trump's 'big beautiful bill' hits clean energy
Solar stocks tumbled on Tuesday, with Solar Edge and First Solar down sharply. The Senate version of the GOP budget bill keeps cuts to clean energy in place. The new government policy would phase out solar and wind energy tax credits. Solar energy stocks plunged for a second day on Tuesday, on news that the Senate version of the budget bill retains cuts to renewable energy tax credits. A US Senate panel has proposed fully phasing out all tax credits for solar and wind energy within the next three years. The development swiftly sent solar energy stocks into free fall, including First Solar, SolarEdge and Sunrun. First Solar fell as much as 22%, while SolarEdge declined as much as 42%, and Sunrun dropped 44%. The proposed tax policy changes are part of the Senate's version of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a budget package that was recently passed in the House of Representatives. Under the current policy, passed during the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, subsidies for solar and wind energy would remain in place until 2032. But the new vision outlined by Republican officials includes granting 100% of the tax credits to hydropower, nuclear, and geothermal energy, areas of the energy sector that the Trump administration favors. Republican Senator Mike Crapo, who serves as founder and co-chairman of the Senate Nuclear Cleanup Caucus, has released a text summary of the bill, which promises to eliminate billions of dollars of clean energy subsidies, describing them as unnecessary and highlighting the need to prioritize other energy sources. These changes have been met with blowback from the clean energy industry, whose advocates have touted the economic consequences of eliminating solar and wind subsidies. This list includes Ari Matusiak, CEO of clean energy nonprofit Rewiring America, who has stated that "Eliminating the tax credits that save families money is a profound mistake." Ed Mills, a managing director and Washington policy analyst for Raymond James, notes that "While the Senate proposal still represents a material negative for renewable energy investment/names, it is a significant improvement from the House." So far, though, the "material negative" seems to be outweighing any improvements for solar stocks. And the corner of the energy sector could have further to fall if the Senate proposal moves forward. It stands to not just eliminate billions of dollars in subsidies that have allowed the renewable power industry to grow, but to provide them to companies that produce competing energy sources.

'We have to dismantle a 40-year-old supply chain': Toy company appeals to the Supreme Court over Trump's tariffs
Two toy companies are asking the Supreme Court to hear their tariff lawsuit before lower courts do. Two courts have ruled the tariffs illegal in separate cases on different grounds. The CEO of a plaintiff company says his company is facing an emergency and "time is of the essence." President Donald Trump's tariffs may face their final fate at the Supreme Court soon. Two Illinois-based educational toy companies filed an emergency request Tuesday asking the Supreme Court to take up their case as soon as possible, rather than letting it continue to play out in lower courts since "it will inevitably fall to this Court to resolve it definitively." Toy companies Learning Resources and hand2mind filed an initial suit on April 22, challenging Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs without going through Congress. "For months, we've had dozens of people working full-time or part-time on addressing all aspects of the tariffs — you can hardly imagine anything more disruptive," Rick Woldenberg, CEO of Learning Resources, told Business Insider. "This is an emergency, and so time is of the essence." The IEEPA tariffs have thus far been ruled unlawful by both the US District Court in the District of Columbia and the Court of International Trade on different grounds in separate lawsuits, including Woldenberg's case filed in Washington, DC. But in both instances, the Court of Appeals has stayed the injunction on the tariffs. "In light of the tariffs' massive impact on virtually every business and consumer across the Nation, and the unremitting whiplash caused by the unfettered tariffing power the President claims, challenges to the IEEPA tariffs cannot await the normal appellate process," wrote Pratik A. Shah, the lawyer for the case, in the petition to the Supreme Court. Learning Resources and hand2mind are not the only businesses to have sued over Trump's tariffs. At least two similar lawsuits, one from a small women-owned business in Florida and the other from five owner-run businesses across various states, are facing similar court proceedings. Neither has thus far appealed to the Supreme Court, as their cases are also stayed by federal appeals courts. The lawsuits share the common argument that Trump has overstepped his authority by imposing tariffs under IEEPA, a law they said does not give the president unilateral power to impose trade duties. The toy companies are specifically suing over Trump's 10% baseline tariff on most imports and an additional 20% tariff on Chinese goods, which the president said were responses to national security concerns and drug trafficking. "There are no rules, we don't know what our costs are, and we are generally given 36 hours of advance notice to change how we operate our business," Woldenberg said. "We have to dismantle a 40-year-old supply chain. There are tremendous amounts of costs associated with that which are not recoverable in any way, shape, or form." It is uncommon for the Supreme Court to intervene before a lower court rules, and the Court's next term starts in October. Data show businesses and consumers are feeling the impacts of the tariffs. In the month of May, retail and food services sales faced a larger drop than economists had expected, down 0.9% compared to April. The National Association of Home Builders Housing Market Index also shows worse sentiment for June than Bloomberg experts had expected, at just 32 points. A score above 50 is generally considered a favorable outlook on home sales. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comments. Read the original article on Business Insider
