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 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.

- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.

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.
