Quick Glance: Biden Secures Kennedy Family Endorsement Amid RFK Jr Controversy

Fifteen members of the Kennedy political dynasty backed U.S. President Joe Biden at an event in Philadelphia, distancing themselves from Robert F. Kennedy Jr's independent candidacy.

Biden, a Democrat, faces a rematch with Republican Donald Trump in November, with concerns arising over potential spoiler effects from Kennedy's candidacy as a prominent anti-vaccine activist.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, son of the late U.S. senator and presidential candidate, garners 15% voter support, contrasting with Biden's 39% and Trump's 38% in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Kennedy family members are expected to assist local volunteers in supporting Biden's campaign, following their endorsement at an event in Philadelphia.

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: Court Overturns West Virginia Ban on Transgender in Sports

A federal appeals court has overturned a ban on transgender individuals participating in sports in West Virginia, citing a violation of Title IX.

The court ruled that the law cannot lawfully be applied to a 13-year-old girl who has identified as female since the third grade.

The decision favored the American Civil Liberties Union, its West Virginia chapter, and the LGBTQ advocacy group Lambda Legal, who filed a lawsuit in 2021.

West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.
