Who’s stacking up delegates ahead of Super Tuesday…Former President Trump. Over the weekend, Trump came out victorious in the Idaho, Missouri, and Michigan caucuses. Meanwhile, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley picked up her first primary win in DC, but she still only has 43 delegates compared to Trump’s 244. Haley said she’s sticking things out as long as her campaign is “competitive.” Tomorrow, Super Tuesday kicks off with voters in 15 states heading to the polls to help decide who will be the Republican nominee. But today, all eyes are on the Supreme Court, which is expected to rule on Trump’s eligibility to stay on the Colorado primary ballot given his actions in the January 6th insurrection. PS: We spoke to Haley last month about what the long game is with her campaign, plus why Trump voters aren't backing her. Listen here.
Who's dropping buckets like it's her job...Caitlin Clark. Yesterday, the college basketball sensation set an all-time scoring record for men or women in the NCAA with 3,685 career points. The record was first set by Louisiana State University’s Pete Maravich in 1970. More than 50 years later, Clark is redefining women’s college basketball. Just last month, she became the top women’s scorer. Her jerseys are flying off the (virtual) shelves with Fanatics reportedly saying she’s become their top-selling college athlete. And ticket costs for her games have gone through the roof as fans clamor to see her shatter records. Clark's expected to be the no. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever in next month’s WNBA draft. …Oh and speaking of setting records, LeBron James became the first NBA player to score 40,000 career points. In his 21st season, King James is still going strong.
Who’s expanding their services…CVS and Walgreens. On Friday, the retail pharmacy giants said they’re going to start dispensing abortion pills in states where it’s legal. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, at least 14 states have moved to ban abortion to some degree, including medication abortions —which accounted for more than half of abortions in the US in 2020. CVS said it will fill prescriptions for mifepristone (one of two drugs used for medication abortion) in Massachusetts and Rhode Island in the “weeks ahead.” Walgreens will start off in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania at select locations. It comes weeks before the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on whether to restrict access to mifepristone.
Who people are remembering…Elijah McClain. On Friday, paramedic Peter Cichuniec was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in McClain’s 2019 death. The 23-year-old died after police confronted him on his walk home, held him in a chokehold, and paramedics injected him with ketamine. Of the three police officers involved, only one was convicted and sentenced to 14 months in jail. It’s rare for a paramedic to face charges, but in this case both paramedics were convicted of criminally negligent homicide for injecting McClain with too strong a ketamine dose. Cichuniec was also convicted of second-degree assault for unlawful administration of drugs. The second paramedic will be sentenced next month.
