A new USA Today/Suffolk poll finds Joe Biden leading the Democratic presidential field with 30%, followed by Bernie Sanders at 15%, Elizabeth Warren at 10%, Pete Buttigieg at 9%, Kamala Harris at 8% and Cory Booker at 2%.

No other candidate received more than 1% support.

“When asked which candidates they would be ‘excited’ to see running, Democrats and independents showed a surge of enthusiasm since the USA Today/Suffolk survey in March for Buttigieg (up 24 points to 31%), Warren (up five points to 37%) and Harris (up four points to 40%). That sense of excitement had dropped since March for Biden (down eight points to 51%) and Beto O’Rourke (down eight points to 26%).”

Jonathan Swan: “There are two big reasons President Trump’s campaign chose Orlando, Fla., for last night’s official re-election launch, a source tells Axios: the optics of a huge spillover crowd and, more importantly, a boon for the campaign’s digital operation.”

“The Trump campaign has been vacuuming up an extraordinary amount of voter data at its rallies. When you register for a ticket, you hand over basic info. Then when you show up and get your ticket scanned, you tell the campaign more about your intensity and propensity to show up and vote. The source said the campaign is trying to vacuum up as much Florida voter information as early as possible, so that key state can be squared away.”

At his campaign kickoff rally in Florida, President Trump promised to cure cancer, eradicate AIDS, and ensure that American astronauts land on Mars if he wins a second term, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Trump: “We will push onward with new medical frontiers. We will come up with the cures to many, many problems, to many, many diseases—including cancer and others and we’re getting closer all the time. We will eradicate AIDS in America once and for all and we’re very close. We will lay the foundation for landing American astronauts on the surface of Mars.”

“Joe Biden told affluent donors Tuesday that he wanted their support and — perhaps unlike some other Democratic presidential candidates — wouldn’t be making them political targets because of their wealth,” Bloomberg reports.

Said Biden: “Remember, I got in trouble with some of the people on my team, on the Democratic side, because I said, you know, what I’ve found is rich people are just as patriotic as poor people. Not a joke. I mean, we may not want to demonize anybody who’s made money.”

New York Times: “Mr. Falwell — who is not a minister and spent years as a lawyer and real estate developer — said his endorsement was based on Mr. Trump’s business experience and leadership qualities. A person close to Mr. Falwell said he made his decision after ‘consultation with other individuals whose opinions he respects.’ But a far more complicated narrative is emerging about the behind-the-scenes maneuvering in the months before that important endorsement.”

“That backstory, in true Trump-tabloid fashion, features the friendship between Mr. Falwell, his wife and a former pool attendant at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach; the family’s investment in a gay-friendly youth hostel; purported sexually revealing photographs involving the Falwells; and an attempted hush-money arrangement engineered by the president’s former fixer, Michael Cohen.”
