The quintessential swing state, Pennsylvania has voted for the winner of almost every presidential election over the past 50 years. The only exceptions have been 2000 and 2004 (the Keystone State proved immune to the charms of George W. Bush). Mirroring those trends, it flipped from Barack Obama to Donald Trump in 2016 and from Trump to Joe Biden in 2020. It is expected to be a hotly contested battleground this November.

UPDATE 1-GE Vernova reports wider-than-expected Q1 loss in first post-spinoff results

In contrast, the power segment saw higher orders for gas turbines and more demand for gas power services due to outages, leading to a 6% jump in sales.
