Former Arkansas Gov. Hutchinson formally announces 2024 presidential campaign

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:57:22 GMT

(CNN) — Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson formally kicked off his presidential campaign on Wednesday with a speech in Bentonville, Arkansas, seeking to distinguish himself from the GOP field with his long career in government and “commonsense conservatism.”“Today, I am announcing that I am a candidate for president of the United States,” Hutchinson said. “In this campaign for president, I stand alone in terms of my experience, record and leadership.”In his speech, Hutchinson touched upon plans to address the economy, crime, and border security — issues that fit with his public service record. But the former governor, who’s working to build national name recognition, also highlighted his personal story of growing up on a farm in a small town.Bentonville is where Hutchinson announced his first run for public office and part of the district he used to represent when he was in the US House of Representatives.Hutchinson announced hi...

EU pharma reform: Winners and losers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:57:22 GMT

If you want to understand the EU’s revision of its pharmaceutical rules, you could do worse than listen to Bono. “Where you live shouldn’t determine whether you live or die,” said the Irish frontman — a line repeated by Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides at the unveiling of the legislative package on Wednesday.  The first major overhaul of the bloc’s medicines regulations in 20 years aims to make access to medicines more secure and affordable, encourage innovation and reduce red tape. It touches on everything from medicines access to drug shortages, and the bloc’s pharma regulator.The ink hasn’t even dried and it’s already provoking strong reactions, with the pharmaceutical industry lobby slating it, and patient activists giving it a cautious cheer. The battle lines seem set for the next stage of the process — heated discussions between lawmakers in the European Parliament and between EU countries in the Council. They’ll be racing against looming Europea...

Josh Hart is compiling clutch playoff moments as big payday awaits

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:57:22 GMT

CLEVELAND — When the temperature and pressure rise, Josh Hart is built to run into the smoke.“The fourth quarter, and especially the last 6 minutes, that’s winning time,” Hart said before New York’s potential closeout Game 5 on Wednesday. “In my mind, there’s no such thing as fatigue, no such thing as being tired, no such thing as being hurt. If I’m out there, that’s the time where I gotta raise my attention to detail, raise my intensity, raise my energy even more. And that’s something that I’ve always been wired to do. So for me, it’s once that time hits, it’s totally different. In my eyes, it’s 0-0 and you’ve got to go win it.”Other than Jalen Brunson, there’s no greater success story to this Knicks campaign than Hart. His acquisition in February immediately shifted the team’s trajectory, and the positive impact has only increased in the playoffs.It’s been the perfect ...
