Quick Glance: Significant Donations for Biden at Election Fundraiser in NYC
  • A fundraising event for President Joe Biden in New York City, featuring Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, raised an impressive $25 million, setting a record for the highest fundraising amount for a political gathering, according to his campaign.

  • The upcoming event at Radio City Music Hall will serve as a prominent highlight following a recent series of campaign travels by the president.

Furthermore, the event will bring together more than thirty years of Democratic leadership.

  • With varying levels of access based on donors' generosity, the event will feature a significant aspect, an on-stage discussion among the three presidents, moderated by late-night host Stephen Colbert. Additionally, a lineup of musical talents, including Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele, will be hosted by actress Mindy Kaling. Attendance is expected to be high, with ticket prices starting as low as $225.

  • The support of Obama and Clinton is assisting Biden in further strengthening his substantial financial lead over Trump. As of the end of February, Biden had $155 million in available funds, in contrast to Trump's $37 million and his Save America political action committee.

Chris Christie turns down running with No Labels
Quick Glance: Chris Christie Declines No Labels Presidential Bid
  • Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R) has made the decision not to run as the No Labels candidate for president after extensively evaluating the prospects of a centrist third-party campaign against President Biden and former president Donald Trump.

  • During the recent weeks, Christie, along with his team, explored the possibility of joining a No Labels campaign, while No Labels leaders intensified their efforts to court him as a candidate.

  • In conclusion, Christie determined that while there is an abstract interest in a third choice in the upcoming election, there is no practical path to victory. The challenges include significant ballot access and legal expenses, a delayed start in fundraising campaign funds, and the risk of diverting votes from Biden to elect Trump as president, according to those involved.

  • The No Labels leaders have set a deadline in early April to nominate a presidential ticket, with a clear indication that they will only proceed if they can recruit someone with a feasible chance of winning. Individuals involved with No Labels have informed others in recent weeks that they anticipate Christie will be the nominee, as reported by individuals familiar with the discussions.

  • Threats commonly arise during election periods, often fueled by denial of election results, leading to severe consequences for election workers, their families, and colleagues.

  • Judge Steven P. Logan emphasized that violent threats pose a significant risk to American institutions and employees, constituting a direct assault on the rule of law.

Quick Glance: Appeals Court Decision Reduces Trump's Bond in Fraud Case
  • In the New York civil fraud case, it was determined that Donald Trump and his co-defendants now have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, compared to the original $464 million.

  • The late ruling from a panel of state Appellate Division judges, all appointed by Democratic governors, represents a significant victory and relief for the former president.

  • Trump's legal team had previously stated that obtaining the larger bond was practically impossible. The court's decision also temporarily prevents the New York Attorney General's office from enforcing the judgment.

  • Additionally, the court imposed a stay on the part of the initial judgment that restricted Trump from acting as a public officer of a company, as well as prohibitions on other individuals, although not all of Trump's requests were granted.

Biden campaign releases ad featuring Trump "bloodbath" comments
Quick Glance: Trump Defends 'Bloodbath' Comment and Claims Critics, Media Misinterpreted
  • Former President Donald Trump accused the media and Democrats of misconstruing his warning of a 'bloodbath' if he loses the election to President Joe Biden - emphasizing he was speaking about the fate of the auto industry, rather than threatening political violence, as his political adversaries and some pundits have suggested.

  • Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday that 'the Fake News Media, and their Democrat Partners in the destruction of our Nation . . . fully understood' he was referencing the auto industry when he told a crowd in Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend: 'if I don't get elected it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole—that's gonna be the least of it.' But some went further, with Biden's re-election campaign calling Trump 'a loser who . . . doubles down on his threats of political violence' in a statement in response to Trump's use of the word.

  • Trump expanded on his statements on Truth Social Monday, alleging that 'imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden' are 'killing the automobile industry' while targeting the president's push for more electric vehicle manufacturing in an appeal to auto workers concerned about job loss from the transition to EVs.

  • Former Vice President Mike Pence, who said last week he would not endorse Trump's 2024 bid, defended Trump's 'bloodbath' comments in a CBS interview on Sunday, stating that 'the president was clearly talking about the impact of imports devastating the American automotive industry.'
