Virginia’s Democratic Party Is Letting Energy Money Back In

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:34:44 GMT

In 2017, Virginia Democrats tried something new. Politicians from the party stopped accepting large-dollar contributions from the state’s most powerful energy company. A slew of upstart candidates running in competitive Democratic primaries also swore off money from Dominion Energy, which had long donated huge sums of money to both parties and used a powerful lobbying apparatus to loosen legislative regulations and enrich its executives.In 2019, the state party made its decision official. That year, Democratic candidates who rejected Dominion money helped flip seven competitive seats, and the party won control of both chambers for the first time since 1994.Next week, Virginia voters will vote in open primary races in which support for — and from — Dominion is again playing an outsized role. While the Democratic Party no longer accepts large contributions from the energy company, individual candidates and caucuses still do. Populist candidates are challenging corporate-friendly Democ...

NATO mulls another succession solution: Pairing with EU top jobs race

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:34:44 GMT

Jens Stoltenberg can’t leave just yet — the EU may need him around until it reshuffles its own leaders in Brussels.That’s the dawning sentiment among NATO allies as the military alliance’s chief nears the end of his term and countries fail to rally around a consensus successor. The NATO leader’s near decade-long tenure, which has been repeatedly extended, is set to expire this fall. But NATO allies are now gaming out the possibility of prolonging his term yet again until the alliance’s summit in Washington next year, according to diplomats.The move would, of course, give leaders more time to locate a successor. But it would also push the decision into an EU election year, allowing it to become part of the political jostling over who will run the EU’s main institutions for the next five years. Like the top NATO job, the EU positions require a geopolitical balancing act. And having four positions to hand out instead of one may help ease those negotiations, allowing countries...
