Gu's China switch sparks Stanford backlash and harassment claims

Olympian Eileen Gu, who switched from competing for Team USA to representing China to maximize endorsement opportunities, says backlash over her Olympic allegiance led to harassment and even physical incidents at Stanford, including police involvement and death threats, according to her interview with The Athletic. Stanford has not publicly commented on the claims, while Gu continues to compete in Milan-Cortina 2026 and maintain a high profile around endorsements and national identity debates surrounding her decision.

Schiff endorses Swalwell, giving California governor bid a momentum boost

Sen. Adam Schiff endorsed Rep. Eric Swalwell for California’s gubernatorial race, signaling a boost for Swalwell in a crowded Democratic field as he maintains fundraising momentum and leads among Democrats. Schiff highlighted Swalwell’s impeachment-management experience and commitment to affordability and protecting democracy. Swalwell counts eight California House colleagues backing him, with Katie Porter still a top contender; Padilla has ruled out a run. California Democratic Party delegates will vote on endorsements later this month, but no endorsement is expected before the June primary due to the field’s size and high thresholds.

Trump’s midterm playbook in limbo as endorsements and cash decisions loom

Republicans’ midterm prospects look dim as Trump has not approved a spending plan or endorsed key candidates, leaving campaign committees to guess how to deploy a $300M-plus war chest; while he signals increased engagement and the White House plans more battleground travel, privately lawmakers and donors are frustrated by a lack of urgency and clear strategy, with potential endorsements in Texas, Georgia, and New Hampshire shaping key Senate and House contests as MAGA Inc. weighs spending in waves.

AOC joins NY Democrats backing Hochul for reelection

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and all 19 New York Democratic House members will endorse Gov.

Tom Suozzi and comes as Hochul faces a June primary challenge from Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado.

Eileen Gu's $23M Endorsement Empire Outsmarts Her Skiing Returns

Eileen Gu's $23M Endorsement Empire Outsmarts Her Skiing Returns

Freestyle skier Eileen Gu—the 2022 Olympic champion and a standout in Forbes’ 2025 earnings—made about $23.1 million in 2025-26, mostly from off‑snow endorsements rather than prize money from skiing (roughly $0.1 million on the slopes). Her deals span Porsche, Red Bull, IWC, Anta, Bosideng, Mengniu, TCL, and more, supported by a dual American-Chinese identity and large cross‑market social reach (7 million on Weibo, 5 million on Instagram). Industry observers call her a “perfect storm” of talent and branding, making her one of the most lucrative athletes despite skiing not being a major sport in either market. She aims to defend her big air and halfpipe Olympic titles at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games as her commercial profile continues to outpace on‑court earnings.
