Fact check: Biden repeats his claim that he ‘got arrested’ defending civil rights. There’s still no evidence for it
cnn.com/2024/04/26/politics/fact-check-joe-biden-claim-arrested-defending-civil-rights/
Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence
- President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'
- Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.
- It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.
- Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles
- Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.

- The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.
- The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.

Quick Glance: Millions more spent on Trump legal fees as Biden and Democratic Party expand campaign funds lead

- Save America, the political action committee that has underwritten much of Trump’s legal expenses, spent nearly $3.7 million on legal-related expenses in March – nearly $3 out of every $4 it collected, according to a filing Saturday night with the Federal Election Commission.
- President Joe Biden alongside the Democratic National Committee increased their financial lead over Trump and the GOP in the past month.

South Africa election: Mbeki promises to rid ANC of 'rotten apples': South Africa's former president hits out at corruption within the governing party.
bbc.com/news/articles/cd18rkxx64no
Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections
- An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.
- While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.
- The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.
- The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).
