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. Biden's visits to various political battlegrounds in the weeks since his State of the Union address have emphasized his bid for reelection. 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.

Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
  • Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

Quick Glance: Firearms Discovered at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties, Sources Say
  • During searches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami, federal agents found firearms, as confirmed by three informed sources on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday and confiscated the music mogul's phones in Miami before his planned trip to the Bahamas. According to a source familiar with the matter, Combs is under a federal criminal investigation due to multiple lawsuits filed against him in recent months.

  • Reportedly, Combs has been involved in numerous civil lawsuits since November, following a lawsuit from his former romantic partner Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse over several years. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them 'sickening.' In February, a former employee who worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.

  • The cases are ongoing, and Combs has maintained his denial of the allegations. A man arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport on Monday is said to be an associate of Combs. Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on suspicion of possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Court records indicated that Paul was released on bond on Tuesday.
