Diving Deeper: 

President Biden, accompanied by former President Obama, arrived in New York City for a star-studded fundraiser expected to raise a record-breaking $25 million. The event, hosted by CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert, will feature a discussion with the three Democratic presidents and performances by Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele. The Biden campaign has hailed the event as "the most successful political fundraiser in American history".

Meanwhile, former President Trump is attending the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was tragically killed on Monday. Trump's presence at the wake, about half an hour away from where Biden's fundraiser is taking place, creates a stark contrast in engagements. Trump has sought to flip the script on the fundraiser, stating in an emailed fundraising appeal: "Remember, my campaign isn't powered by the Hollywood 'elite' writing 6-figure checks – IT'S POWERED BY YOU!"

Despite Biden's financial lead, polls show Trump ahead among voters nationally and in several key swing states. Trump is facing four criminal cases, with his first trial set to begin on April 15 in New York. The political divide is evident as the incumbent and the presumptive Republican nominee navigate their respective engagements.
