Trump and Sen. Dave McCormick team up to promote energy investments in Pennsylvania
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Sen. David McCormick of Pennsylvania will jointly announce roughly $70 billion of energy investments in the state Tuesday as the president travels to Pittsburgh for a conference with dozens of top executives to promote his energy and technology agenda. The Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit will be held at Carnegie Mellon University, and it comes as the state's political and business leaders are working to forge the city into a hub for robotics, artificial intelligence and energy. Trump has repeatedly pledged U.S. 'energy dominance' in the global market, and Pennsylvania — a swing state critical to his wins in 2016 and 2024 — is at the forefront of that agenda, in large part due to its coal industry that the Republican administration has taken several steps to bolster. Neither the White House nor McCormick's office gave breakdowns of the $70 billion or what the investments entail. McCormick, a Republican first-term senator who is organizing the inaugural event, says the summit is meant to bring together top energy companies and AI leaders, global investors and labor behind Trump's energy policies and priorities. He says the investments will spur tens of thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania. 'Pennsylvania is uniquely positioned because of abundant energy, of incredible skilled workers, technology,' McCormick said in a Fox News interview Monday promoting the summit. 'We need to win the battle for AI innovation in America, and Pennsylvania is at the center of it.' The list of participating CEOs includes leaders from global behemoths like Blackstone, SoftBank, Amazon Web Services, BlackRock and ExxonMobil and local companies such as the Pittsburgh-based Gecko Robotics, which deploys AI to bolster energy capacity. Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, will also attend. Administration officials speaking at the summit include White House crypto czar David Sacks, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. In the Fox News interview, McCormick credited his wife, Dina Powell McCormick, with the idea for a summit. Powell McCormick served as Trump's deputy national security adviser in his first term and is a former Goldman Sachs executive who is now at BDT & MSD Partners, a merchant bank. Pittsburgh is home to Carnegie Mellon University, a prestigious engineering school, plus a growing industry of small robotics firms and a so-called ' AI Avenue ' that's home to offices for Google and other AI firms. It also sits in the middle of the prolific Marcellus Shale natural gas reservoir. Pennsylvania has scored several big investment wins in recent months, some of it driven by federal manufacturing policy and others by the ravenous need for electricity from the fast-growing AI business. Nippon Steel just bought U.S. Steel for almost $15 billion, getting Trump's approval after pledging to invest billions alone in U.S. Steel's Pittsburgh-area plants. Amazon will spend $20 billion on two data center complexes in Pennsylvania, with more to come, while a one-time coal-fired power plant is being turned into the nation's largest gas-fired power plant to fuel a data center campus. Meanwhile, Microsoft says it is spending $1.6 billion to reopen the lone functional nuclear reactor on Three Mile Island under a long-term power supply agreement for its data centers. Shapiro, elected in 2022, has been pushing for the state to land a big multibillion-dollar industrial project, like a semiconductor factory or an electric vehicle plant. In his first budget speech, Shapiro — who is viewed as a potential White House contender in 2028 — told lawmakers that Pennsylvania needs to 'get in the game' and warned that it would take money. He didn't land a mega project, but he instead has worked to play up big investments by Amazon and Microsoft, as well as Nippon Steel, as he prepares to seek a second term.

Rays could move to Tampa after $1.7 billion sale finalizes
The Tampa Bay Rays might finally live up to their namesake. A group led by Jacksonville developer Patrick Zalupski is expected to buy the franchise for a reported $1.7 billion as early as September, and it wants to move the team from St. Petersburg to Tampa, according to The Athletic. Current Rays owner Stu Sternberg purchased the team for $200 million in 2004. 3 Soon to be Ray's owner, Patrick Zalupski University of Florida 3 Damage done to Tropicana field after Hurricane Milton. AP There has been pressure on Sternberg to sell the team, as the Rays have been trying to build a new stadium for almost two decades. His most recent plan was to build a $1.3 billion stadium in St. Petersburg, but Hurricane Milton thwarted those plans and damaged the roof of Tropicana Field in the process. 'After careful deliberation, we have concluded we cannot move forward with the new ballpark and development project at this moment,' Sternberg said in a statement in March. 'A series of events beginning in October that no one could have anticipated led to this difficult decision.' Instead, the Rays have gotten a taste of Tampa this season as they've played their home games at Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees spring training ballpark. Rays fans in Tampa have seemingly shown support for the team as they fill almost 90 percent of the 11,000-person capacity stadium on average. Comparing those numbers to last year at Tropicana Field, they could only manage to fill 38 percent of the 45,300-seat stadium on average. 3 Ryan Pepiot pitching at Steinbrenner Field. Getty Images Zalupski, founder, chairman and CEO of Florida-based homebuilder Dream Finders Homes, is no stranger to owning baseball teams. He already counts minor league franchises the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp and Akron Rubber Ducks as part of his portfolio. Now, he's on the brink of adding a major league franchise, and maybe even getting them a long sought-after home in a new place.
