Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results
  • A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

  • In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

  • Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

  • The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign seeks share of candidates' donations
  • The Trump campaign asks Republican candidates using his name and image in fundraising appeals to give at least 5 percent of the proceeds to the campaign.

  • The purpose of the 5 percent request is to prevent 'scammers' from misusing Trump's brand and affecting his fundraising efforts.

  • Trump is struggling to catch up to Biden's fundraising and aims to boost his campaign account with the help of donors.

  • The campaign warns of consequences for vendors and requests compliance with guidelines to avoid suspension of business relationships.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban
  • Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

  • Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

  • State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

  • A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Kennedy Family Endorses Biden Against RFK Jr.
Quick Glance: Kennedy Family Backs Biden Over RFK Jr.
  • President Joe Biden will accept endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine former President Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

  • The decision to highlight the Kennedy family endorsement more than six months from Election Day is an indication of how seriously Biden's team is taking the threat of the long shot bid potentially using his last name’s lingering Democratic magic to siphon off support from the president.

  • The Kennedy family's support was expected, given the known political differences with Robert Kennedy Jr., who originally challenged Biden in the Democratic Party and is now running as an Independent.

  • Following the official endorsement, Biden and Kennedy family members intended to engage with supporters at a campaign event and were planning outreach efforts on behalf of Biden.

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas
  • The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

  • With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

  • Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

  • Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.
