Months after Univision roiled Bidenworld due to anchor Enrique Acevedo’s “softball” interview with Donald Trump, the network is apparently mending broken fences. Adrian Carrasquillo exclusively [reports]( that Acevedo has been prepping for a Thursday sit-down with Joe Biden. But some sources have reservations: “If you establish the precedent of softball interviewing with the most high-profile interview the network has done in decades,” says one ex-Univision producer, “you are absolutely obligated to smile all the way through and throw softballs at Biden.” Elsewhere, given the poor performance of MAGA-approved candidates in 2022, Molly Jong-Fast [wonders]( whether Trump’s endorsements will be more of a curse than a blessing in November. Plus, Eric Lutz [catches]( the former president miring himself in sacrilege on Easter Sunday. Thanks for reading.
