Electra Therapeutics priced an upsized $15-per-share IPO at roughly $350 million, selling 23,333,334 shares with a 30-day option for 3.5 million more and set to trade on Nasdaq as ETRA; proceeds will fund its ipsoprubart HLH program and other candidates as it scales its late-stage pipeline. The deal underscores strong investor demand for biotech IPOs in 2026, with Electra among multiple companies raising substantial capital for immune-mediated diseases and cancer programs.

President Donald Trump publicly reiterated his endorsement of Darren Bailey in the Illinois governor’s race, calling Bailey a “very good candidate” and saying he’s “all for Bailey” as he labels JB Pritzker a disaster on crime. Bailey, who has at times distanced himself from Trump on some issues, is leveraging the Trump endorsement to appeal to suburban voters in a high-stakes rematch.

The race will contrast with Democrats’ slate of younger and progressive contenders, while Sununu’s comeback is aided by his family name and a long absence from the ballot.
