apnews.com/article/trump-manhattan-stormy-daniels-michael-cohen-b514cb52bb31a82579cb827c40166173
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Chosen for Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A 12-person jury was seated in Donald Trump's hush money trial on Thursday, moving closer to opening statements and weeks of dramatic testimony.
- The trial will likely involve unflattering testimony about Trump's personal life before his presidency, with allegations of falsifying business records to suppress stories about his sexual relationships in the final days of the 2016 election.
- While the jury selection process initially faced challenges, lawyers quickly settled on seven remaining jurors and one alternate. Judge Juan Merchan aims to have six alternate jurors.
- The trial revolves around a $130,000 payment Cohen made to Stormy Daniels to keep her claims about a sexual encounter with Trump private before the 2016 election.
Kennedys to endorse Biden over their relative RFK Jr: Robert F Kennedy Jr is running for president as an independent - but many family members oppose him.
bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68848356
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: 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.
