Quick Glance: News Organizations Encourage Biden and Trump to Commit to Debates

Twelve news organizations called on presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump to commit to debates, emphasizing their significance since 1976 in every campaign.

Highlighting the importance of debates, the organizations urged the candidates to discuss their visions for the nation's future before the American people.

While Trump is willing to debate his rival, Biden has not yet committed to further debates, and formal invitations have not been issued yet.

The Trump campaign pushed for an earlier debate schedule, criticized moderator selection, and raised concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the debates.

Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial

The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu stated his backing for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election, despite acknowledging Trump's role in the Capitol insurrection of January 6, 2021.

Addressing the possibility of Trump facing legal challenges, Sununu highlighted the preference for focusing on substantial issues over legal matters in the Republican Party, accepting Trump as a symbol of the desired cultural change within the party.

When questioned about his personal stance on Trump, Sununu reiterated his alignment with the majority of Americans who continue to support Trump's presidential candidacy despite concerns over his past actions and potential legal issues.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign has ended its contract with a consultant who urged people to vote for him to 'get rid of Biden', even if it means electing Donald Trump.

Palma misrepresented her role in the campaign, leading to an immediate termination of her contract, as stated by Fox.

The consultant falsely claimed to be the New York State Director of the campaign at an event unaffiliated with the campaign, resulting in her dismissal.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser

Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson. This amount would double what three Democratic presidents recently raised for President Biden’s reelection campaign war chest.

The expected sum would double the amount raised by Biden's campaign at a fundraiser in New York City last week.

The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.

Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.

Quick Glance: New Challenge Emerges for Biden in Ohio

There is a possibility that President Joe Biden may encounter issues accessing general election ballots in Ohio due to a potential conflict in state law.

According to a letter in Newsweek's possession, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's legal advisor is seeking clarification on an evident conflict in Ohio law between the nominating process of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the deadline for the state to certify the party's presidential candidate.

A deadline for a resolution has been set, with a request for 'immediate attention to the matter'. It was noted that either the Democratic National Committee must reschedule its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must establish an exception to this legal requirement by May 9, 2024.

Despite Trump's current lead in Ohio, several polls suggest that Biden's chances of reelection in November have improved, with two reputable polling aggregates indicating he is tied with or ahead of Trump.

Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.
