Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia
- President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.
- Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

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: Ted Cruz's Worries Over Senate Seat
- Ted Cruz, the Texas senator, is under pressure due to his questionable podcast deal with iHeartMedia, amidst his increasingly desperate fundraising efforts.
- Cruz is being outpaced by his opponent Colin Allred in fundraising by three times, which might explain his fundraising concerns for reelection.
- The payments from iHeartMedia to a Cruz-affiliated Super PAC raise questions of potential unlawful contributions, as federal officials are prohibited from soliciting over $5,000 to PACs.
- Cruz is struggling to retain his Senate seat as Texas, once a reliable red state, is swiftly turning into a purple battleground, causing concern within the Republican Party.
