Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia

- 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.

apnews.com/article/kidney-transplant-race-black-inequity-bias-d4fabf2f3a47aab2fe8e18b2a5432135
Quick Glance: Biased Testing Impact on Black Kidney Transplants
- After waiting for a kidney for four years, Jazmin Evans received a shocking message from her hospital: She should have been placed on the transplant list in 2015 instead of 2019, all due to a racially biased organ test.
- An unprecedented initiative has attributed lost waiting time to over 14,000 Black kidney transplant candidates, elevating their priority on the transplant list.
- The transition to race-free equations in calculating kidney function and the directive to use only race-neutral test results are crucial steps in addressing this imbalance.
- While the reduction of race usage in medical decisions is gradual, the kidney saga serves as a distinctive example of rectifying past injustices and combating healthcare disparities.
