What A Day - Poll: Biden Losing Ground In Battleground States, But Don’t Panic

Donald Trump leads President Biden in five of the six battleground states, according to two new polls released by the New York Times. These polls come at a time when Biden is struggling to win the support of young voters. But while polls are an essential snapshot of the country, that snapshot is fairly narrow. So to discuss what these numbers do and do not tell us, we spoke with Dan Pfeiffer, a co-host of Pod Save America and the host of Pollercoaster.

And in headlines: Michael Cohen takes the stand in Trump's hush money trial, three states hold primaries, and Louisiana could be the first state in the country to categorize abortion pills as controlled, dangerous substances.

The Best One Yet - 🏒🏀 “New York Sports, Inc.” — Madison Square Garden’s playoff stock pop. GameStop’s return of the kitty. OpenAI’s ease-of-use.

With the Knicks and Rangers deep in the playoffs for the first time in decades, MSG Sports stock is winning right now — But it suffers from the Diva Discount (we’re talking James Dolan).

Sam Altman and OpenAI just announced their newest AI breakthrough: GPT4o — But this isn’t about how smart it is, it’s about how easy it is to use.

And GameStop’s stock ended the day 74% higher because Roaring Kitty tweeted a meme after 3 years of silence — We’re talking meme stocks again.

Plus, the biggest Solar Storm in 20 years is messing with America’s economy — Tractors can’t navigate for the same reason that brought us the Northern Lights.
