NEW YORK CITY - President Joe Biden visited NYC Monday, disrupting traffic and leading to protests from pro-Palestinian groups.

The president landed at JFK Airport in Queens around 1:40 p.m. and was scheduled to go to Manhattan for a campaign meeting.

The New York Post reports Biden was also in town to tape an interview with late-night talk show host Seth Meyers.

Biden's Feb. 26 schedule

Here is Biden's official schedule from the White House:

2:45 p.m. The President participates in a campaign meeting (New York)

6:30 p.m. The President departs New York, New York en route to Queens, New York (Downtown Manhattan Heliport, NY)

7 p.m. The President departs Queens, New York en route to Joint Base Andrews (Downtown Manhattan Heliport, NY)

Biden's last visit

Earlier this month, New Yorkers experienced traffic nightmares after the president arrived in the Big Apple to attend three campaign receptions. His visit also sparked pro-Palestinian protests in Columbus Circle.

Biden's NYC visit sparks pro-Palestinian protests in Columbus Circle

"Let Biden know he has got to go for carrying out the genocide in Gaza," organizers posted.

Hundreds of demonstrators flocked to Manhattan's Columbus Circle in response to his visit. Organizers encouraged protesters to gather near the 60th Street exit of the Columbus Circle subway station around 1 p.m. to demand a ceasefire in Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas War.

"Let Biden know he has got to go for carrying out the genocide in Gaza," organizers from WIthin Our Lifetime posted to Instagram .

This time, organizers have not planned protests targeting Biden's visit, though this could change.

March NY fundraiser

Meanwhile, the president is teaming up with predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton next month for a New York fundraiser aimed at powering up donations for his reelection campaign. The threesome traded social media posts to reveal their plans.

The event is set for March 28, and though the Biden campaign says it hasn't settled on a venue, it is considering larger sites that would maximize attendance. That would be a break from Biden’s usual campaign stops, which have tended to feature smaller groups of supporters and donors.

"Folks – I’ll be in NYC on March 28th to support @JoeBiden . Who’s coming with me? Chip in for your chance to join," Obama posted on X , formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, over a picture of Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and the hand-written message "Let's finish the job" next to Biden's signature.

Clinton responded ironically, "Count me in. Who else is going to be there?" and Biden answered jokingly "You guys know you can just call me next time, right?"

The president has intensified fundraising efforts since December. His campaign said Tuesday that January produced its highest monthly donation total since launching in April 2023, breaking monthly records previously set in December and November of last year.

The campaign said that last month’s haul was buoyed by a write-in campaign that won Biden New Hampshire’s unsanctioned Democratic primary on Jan. 23. New Hampshire Democrats violated a new primary calendar championed by Biden, and he responded by refusing to campaign there or have his name appear on the ballot, and yet still won via write-in.

Vaccinations for School and Day Care

Vaccines protect the health of your child and the other children at their school.

All NYC students ages 2 months to 18 years must receive certain vaccinations. That includes children in public, private or parochial school, as well as those in day care, Head Start, pre-K or nursery school. Any child who does not meet these requirements will be sent home from school.

The only children who do not require vaccination are those with medical exemptions. There are no religious exemptions for vaccination requirements in New York.

Visit your health care provider before school starts to get your child vaccinated. You can find a health care provider who can vaccinate your child by searching the NYC Health Map or calling 311 .

Learn more about the City’s vaccine requirements and their importance for your children’s health.

Vaccine Requirements

Even if your child had all their required vaccines last year, you should check if they need additional vaccines this year.

Vaccination requirements can be complex. For some vaccines, the number of doses needed depends on when your child began receiving vaccines and how many doses of a vaccine they have already had. If your child is catching up on vaccines, they will be on a different vaccine schedule than children who received vaccines as babies.

If you are unsure about your child's vaccination status, talk to your health care provider.

• Information for Parents: Required Vaccinations in NYC Schools

Flu Vaccine

Between July 1 and December 31, all children ages 6 months to 59 months must receive one dose of flu vaccine if they attend day care, Head Start, pre-K or nursery school.

Biden to make stops in Syracuse, Westchester County Thursday. Why he is visiting NY

President Biden is set to make several stops across New York Thursday as he promotes federal funding for key economic priorities and rubs shoulders with prospective donors.

Biden will visit Syracuse to promote a preliminary agreement to provide a $6.1 billion federal cash infusion for Micron chip manufacturing plants in New York and Idaho . Micron in 2022 pledged to invest up to $100 billion in the Syracuse-area project, hailed as one of the largest memory chip plants to be built in the U.S.

The $6.1 billion investment comes from the CHIPS and Science Act, a 2022 legislative package designed in part to position the U.S. as a leader in chip manufacturing.

On Thursday in Central New York, Biden will "discuss how the CHIPS and Science Act and his Investing in America agenda are growing the economy and creating jobs in Central New York and communities across the country," White House Deputy Communications Director Jennifer Molina said on X Tuesday.

Biden will also attend a sold-out glitzy fundraiser in Westchester County that day, attended by Hollywood names like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, who own a home in the area.

The minimum price to attend is $3,300 for one person and $5,000 per couple. Top donors will shell out $100,000 to the Biden Victory Fund to rank as hosts of the event.

Central and downstate New York have been regular stops for Biden in recent years as he's promoted various economic initiatives like Micron and a $20 billion investment in IBM plants in Poughkeepsie, Yorktown and Albany. He also touched down in the state to make campaign-style speeches in Valhalla last year, and at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers two nights before the 2022 midterm elections , during which New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was expected to face a tough election challenge from Republican opponent Lee Zeldin.

USA Today Network New York Politics Reporter Chris McKenna contributed reporting.

Rivertown schools closing early Thursday as Biden visit could jam roads, create traffic

Schools in several Hudson River communities will close early Thursday as President Biden's visit to Irvington for a fundraiser is expected to generate road closures and traffic during late afternoon rush hour.

The president is expected to attend a high-profile campaign fundraising event hosted by actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones on Thursday in the Hudson River village. It will be his third time visiting the county since he was elected president in 2020.

The Irvington, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Tarrytowns and Hastings-on-Hudson school districts said they will implement early release schedules ahead of the president's arrival, which they indicate will be in the late afternoon. All after-school programs in these districts will be cancelled April 25.

"While there will not be road closures within Hastings, all access highways and parkways will be affected, likely making travel in and out of the Village problematic," William S. McKersie, superintendent of the Hastings-on-Hudson school district, said in a statement to the community.

The Irvington Police Department in a statement Monday advised residents to avoid traveling in the village after 2 p.m.

"Significant traffic impacts are expected from mid-afternoon through rush hour," the statement said. "In addition, there will also be several major thoroughfares subject to long-term closures in Westchester County, which will add to the traffic impacts on secondary roads."

Both the Irvington and Westchester County police said they cannot release information about which roads will be impacted because of security concerns.

Metro North's Hudson Line service will not be impacted by the potential traffic.

Donald Trump traveling to Wisconsin for first off-day rally from New York hush money trial

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Wisconsin next week in what is expected to be his first rally since his criminal trial began in New York this month.

Trump is scheduled to appear in Waukesha on Wednesday and plans to deliver remarks about 2 p.m. at the Waukesha County Expo Center, where he'll "contrast the peace, prosperity and security of his first term with Joe Biden’s failed presidency," his campaign said.

The planned rally is the first for Trump since the start of his hush money trial in Manhattan. The former president has spent most of the past two weeks in court, largely unable to campaign. He's accused of falsifying business records during his 2016 campaign to conceal an affair.

He previously scheduled a rally in North Carolina this past weekend, but it was canceled due to stormy weather. His Wisconsin visit will fall on a Wednesday — the one day a week he is typically not required to be in court.

Trump plans to hold a rally in Freeland, Mich., later in the day.

The former president held his first Wisconsin rally of the election cycle earlier this month, when he stopped in Green Bay . There, he attacked President Joe Biden over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border — a key issue to his campaign.

“We’re going to end up with the largest deportation in America," Trump told the crowd in Green Bay of his plans if reelected. "I’m here to declare Biden’s border bloodbath … ends the day I take office. I will end the carnage."

On Wednesday, Trump is expected to again make the southern border a focal point. His campaign this week said Biden's border policies have "caused a crisis, with illegal immigrants and criminals funneling deadly drugs into Wisconsin communities."

Trump's visit to Wisconsin comes as President Joe Biden and his campaign have flooded the state over the last five months. Biden and his surrogates have made eight stops in the swing state since the start of the year. Biden was in Madison April 8 to unveiled a new student loan debt forgiveness plan.

Biden's campaign on Wednesday attacked Trump as having "nothing to offer but resentment and division."

“After spending the last few weeks dozing off and bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade, Donald Trump is visiting Waukesha next week in a desperate bid to do damage control on his record of ripping away women’s freedoms and encouraging thousands of rioters to try to violently overturn an election," the Biden campaign said in a statement.

The recent visits will not be the last for either candidate.

Wisconsin is one of just a handful of states that will decide the next presidential contest, and Biden and Trump are locked in a tight rematch of 2020. A Marquette University Law Poll released last week showed Trump leading Biden 51%-49% among both registered voters and likely voters.

Still, as Biden continues to campaign across the country, Trump has been in a Manhattan courtroom. And his trial could take several weeks.

"I should be in Georgia now. I should be Florida now," Trump said ahead of one recent court appearance. "I should be a lot of different places right now campaigning, and I'm sitting here. And this will go on for a long time."

Day 4 of Trump New York hush money trial

From CNN's Jeremy Herb, Lauren del Valle and Kara Scannell in the courthouse

We've wrapped up our live updates. Learn more about Friday's proceedings by scrolling through the posts below, and return on Monday for more live coverage of Trump's hush money criminal trial .

Man who lit himself on fire outside of the courthouse has died, law enforcement official says

From CNN's John Miller

The man who lit himself on fire outside of the Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump’s trial was taking place died Friday night, a senior law enforcement official told CNN.

NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey B. Maddrey said earlier that the man walked into the center of Collect Pond Park, which is directly across from the courthouse.

He opened his backpack and took out pamphlets that he scattered in the park before setting himself on fire.

The man was taken to Cornell Burn Center earlier in critical condition. Police had said they thought it was not likely that he would survive.

Key takeaways from the final day of jury selection in Trump's hush money trial

From CNN's Jeremy Herb and Lauren del Valle

The historic first criminal trial of a former US president begins with opening statements on Monday.

Judge Juan Merchan swiftly  moved through consideration of roughly 200 potential jurors  to find a jury pool of 18 by midday Friday, swearing in 12 jurors and six alternates who will decide Donald Trump’s fate in the New York hush money case.

Here are takeaways from the final day of jury selection:

• The jury is set: Four women and one man were  added to the jury on Friday as five of the six alternates for the case. They will sit in the jury box and will hear the duration of the trial, but they will only be put on the jury should one or more of the 12 jurors be excused from the case. Prosecutors focused their questions in the case on preparing the jurors to accept testimony from less-than-favorable witnesses, like Michael Cohen. Trump’s attorneys, meanwhile, were almost singularly focused on a single question: What did jurors think about Donald Trump?
• Final round of juror questions highlights emotional decision for potential jurors: There were several emotional moments during Friday morning’s questioning of potential jurors, with two jurors telling the judge in the middle of voir dire that they no longer felt they could serve. One female prospective juror who works in sales for a trading company began crying when she was handed the microphone. At one point after that jury had left, another juror raised her hand and told the court she started feeling “high anxiety” as she sat and listened to a line of questioning about the credibility of witnesses.
• Trump is still trying to stop his trial: Despite seating a jury, Trump’s legal team again tried to stop the trial in its tracks with another strategic appeal. In a new motion filed Friday morning, Trump’s lawyers once again asked an appeals court to temporarily halt the trial until they ruled on Trump’s appeal to move the venue of the hush money trial out of Manhattan. The motion was denied.
• A hearing on Trump’s gag order violations is set for Tuesday: Despite Trump’s attempts to delay, opening statements in his criminal trial will begin Monday morning. On Tuesday, the morning will shift to Trump’s discussion of witnesses in the case, as Merchan plans to hold a hearing on social media posts by the former president that prosecutors say violated his gag order. They’re asking the judge to fine Trump $1,000 per post and remind him that violations of the gag order could result in imprisonment.

5 alternate jurors were selected Friday. Here's what we know about them

From CNN's Kara Scannell, Lauren del Valle, and Jeremy Herb

The full panel in Donald Trump's hush money trial has been set after five alternate jurors were selected Friday.

Remember: A full 12-person jury was seated earlier this week, along with one alternate juror.

Here's what we know about the alternate jurors selected Friday:

Alternate Juror #1

• A woman originally from Spain
• Not currently working
• Married with adult children
• Likes to travel
• Says she does not follow the news and does not have any social media accounts
• Says she doesn't "have strong opinions about former President Donald Trump that would interfere" with her ability to be a fair and impartial juror

Alternate Juror #3

• A native New Yorker
• He is a fan of martial arts

Alternate Juror #4

• A contract specialist who has previously lived in New Jersey and Oregon
• She is married with two children
• Says she likes to see live music and take her boys to basketball games
• Says she’s “not a big news person” but looks at The New York Times, Reuters and the BBC
• Does have social media profiles but doesn’t post or use them

Alternate Juror #5

• Works for a clothing company
• Says she gets her news from Google

Alternate Juror #6

• Project manager for a construction company
• She is divorced with three sons
• Her boyfriend is in law enforcement
• Says she listens to true crime podcasts
• Her father was convicted of a federal crime when she was in high school but she said she was shielded from the details

The full jury is sworn in. Catch up on what happened ahead of opening statements in the hush money trial

From CNN staff

The full jury panel has now been seated in the hush money trial against Donald Trump, clearing the way for opening statements to start on Monday.

There are 12 jurors and six alternates who will hear the case against the former president.

Opening statements are set to begin Monday at 9:30 a.m. ET. Court will be a half day on Monday and Tuesday due to Passover, ending at 2 p.m. ET each day.

Leaving the courthouse Friday, Trump again called the trial a "giant witch hunt." Just hours after jury selection finished, an appeals court denied Trump’s latest attempt to stop the trial from going forward.

Here’s what happened today:

Finishing jury selection:

• The remaining five alternates were sworn in on Friday. All 12 jurors and one alternate were selected Thursday.
• The day started with a group of  22 potential jurors answering a questionnaire and facing more questions from lawyers on both sides.
• Trump watched the alternates' answers very closely as they shared their opinions of him, turning toward the jury box as they responded. 
• Before the lunch break, Judge Juan Merchan gave the jurors instructions not to discuss the case with others or research it. He said the court cannot start until all 18 jurors are present each day.

Sandoval hearing:

• The judge held a Sandoval hearing in the afternoon after the full jury was sworn in. The routine procedure aimed to address Trump’s criminal history and assess how much prosecutors can ask about it if the defendant testifies.
• Prosecutors want to bring up past cases — including a $355 million civil fraud order and the E. Jean Carroll defamation case — but the former president's legal team argues those issues aren't relevant to the case at hand .
• The judge said lawyers will have his decision on that matter by Monday.
• It's not yet clear whether the former president will testify. But coming out of the courtroom, Trump said “yes” when asked whether he would take the stand.

Meantime: A New York appeals court judge denied Trump’s motion for an interim stay pending a  change of venue appeal . This was the latest attempt by the former president to stop the hush money trial before opening statements.

Outside the courtroom:

• A man lit himself on fire outside the courthouse , New York Police Chief of Department Jeffrey B. Maddrey said.
• The man walked into the park across the street from the courthouse, throwing flyers into the air , according to Maddrey. He then pulled a canister of what police believe to be an accelerant and lit himself on fire, he said.
• The man is in critical condition at Cornell Burn Unit.
• NYPD Chief of Detectives Joe Kenny said police have not determined if the incident was related to Trump’s trial. He said the man did post about the incident on social media and that his internet presence will be part of the ongoing investigation .

No cameras are allowed inside the Manhattan courtroom where Donald Trump's hush money is underway, but sketch artists are capturing the scenes.

Trump’s request for interim stay of criminal trial is denied

From CNN's Lauren del Valle

A New York appeals court judge denied Donald Trump’s motion for an interim stay pending a change of venue appeal of his criminal trial.

This was the latest attempt by the former president to stop the hush money trial right before opening statements, which are set to be heard on Monday.

Judge Marsha Michael gave five minutes for each side to argue their case at the hastily arranged hearing Friday afternoon.

Trump says judge in New York hush money case “wants this to go as fast as possible”

From CNN's Kate Sullivan and Kaanita Iyer

Former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters as he exited the courtroom Friday, and said Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the hush money trial, “wants this to go as fast as possible."

“The trial starts on Monday, which is long before a lot of people thought. The judge wants this to go as fast as possible. That’s for his reasons, not for my reasons,” Trump said.

The former president also called the trial "a giant witch hunt" and railed against people involved in the separate New York civil fraud case — including Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James — to make the case that Democrats are targeting him.

Court has adjourned

The court has adjourned for the day. Opening statements in the hush money trial are expected to begin Monday.

BREAKING: LSU Wide Receiver Malik Nabers Selected No. 6 Overall in 2024 NFL Draft

Nabers is headed to New York as he begins the next chapter of his playing career, wraps up dominant career in Baton Rouge.

• Author: Zack Nagy

In this story:

LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers, labeled as the "most explosive" player in the 2024 NFL Draft, is New York bound after being selected No. 6 overall on Thursday by the Giants.

The electrifying wideout took America by storm during the 2023 season after showcasing his playmaking ability on a routine basis.

In the midst of a big-time season for LSU, Nabers rewrote the record books after becoming the program's leader in receptions (187) and receiving yards (3,003).

Now, after an impressive career in Baton Rouge, the Louisiana native is off to New York to begin his professional career with lofty expectations.

He's impressed NFL scouts with his dominant on-field play, but during March's LSU Pro Day, he once again stole headlines after piecing together a 4.35 40-yard dash and 42" vertical jump.

“We had a lot of national television here – NFL Network, ESPN- getting that type of notoriety for LSU and our football program certainly is very good for your program and how your move forward relative to recruiting,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said. “Our young guys get to see what it’s like, it’s a job interview in many ways and how you need to prepare for that job interview. I think our guys did a great job of preparing for that job interview.

“Finally, the entire country got a chance to see elite players and what that looks like. LSU has done a great job over the years of developing elite players and you got to see that.”

Nabers, a unanimous All-America selection and runner-up for the Biletnikoff Award, dazzled scouts with his performance that also included a leap of 10-feet 9-inches in the broad jump. He did 15 reps on the 225-pound bench press.

What makes Nabers so special? LSU head coach Brian Kelly continued raving about his star wide receiver following his impressive Pro Day last month:

“Physicality and ability to separate from great players, there has to be something you look for,” Kelly said of Nabers. “When you watch film, you see him separate from great players in the SEC. Today you saw a 42-inch vertical and a 4.3 (40-yard dash). This ability to separate on the field is now backed up by the physical prowess you see with a 42-inch vertical and a 4.3 (40-yard dash).

“It validates what you see on film and that it’s backed up by great physical traits. I think what it does more than anything else is that it shows he can separate with the ball in his hands, he can be explosive after the catch. Now it comes down to ‘who is the kind of guy who you want to get the ball in their hands’. I don’t think there’s a better receiver in the country.”

Now, Nabers is New York bound as he looks to be the next great wideout to come out of LSU.
