Scott Brown, a Republican and former U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, declared his second campaign on Wednesday for the New Hampshire Senate seat that Democrat Jeanne Shaheen will vacate next year. At 65, Brown was born at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and relocated to Massachusetts as a child. After serving multiple terms in the state Legislature, he won a special election in 2010 for the U.S. Senate seat previously held by Edward Kennedy for many years. He was defeated by Democrat Elizabeth Warren in 2012. Subsequently, he moved to New Hampshire and unsuccessfully ran against Shaheen for the Senate in 2014. Shaheen, currently in her third Senate term, announced in March that she would not run for reelection in 2026.

A federal judge on Tuesday mandated the Trump administration to release billions of dollars designated for the expansion of electric vehicle chargers across more than a dozen states. U.S. District Judge Tana Lin, located in Washington state, partially approved a preliminary injunction aimed at unblocking funds that were authorized under then-President Joe Biden but had been withheld by the Trump administration earlier this year. Sixteen states, along with the District of Columbia, filed a lawsuit against this action, contending that the administration lacked the authority to obstruct the funds that had been approved by Congress. The initiative was intended to distribute $5 billion over five years to various states, with approximately $3.3 billion already accessible. Judge Lin ordered the release of funding for 14 states, including Arizona, California, and New York. However, she declined to grant the preliminary injunction for D.C., Minnesota, and Vermont, stating that they failed to present sufficient evidence of facing “irreparable harm” if the funds were not released immediately.
