New polling finds Biden’s approval rate slumping, disapproval rate growing

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice The State of the Union Address may not have had the result for President Joe Biden that he would have hoped. Emerson polling finds that his job approval rating has continued to slide since the address, and his job disapproval rating has continued to rise. Biden addressed the nation March 8. Polling was conducted April 2-3 of 1,438 registered voters with a margin of error of 2.5%. In January, voters surveyed by Emerson graded the President's approval at 42%, up from a low of 38% in November. That approval of 42% ticked down 1% in March and another 1% in April, Emerson finds. Disapproval of the President's job performance was at its lowest in January, coming in at 46% in Emerson polling. It has ticked up every month since, with 47% disap...

Trump rakes in over $1M in small donations after first day in New York hush money trial

By Mallory Wilson  | The Washington Times Former President Donald Trump raised over $1 million in campaign funds after his first court day in his New York hush-money case. Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law and newly elected co-chair of the Republican National Committee told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday that Americans came out in support of Mr Trump while he faces his first criminal trial. “The people of America spoke up yesterday in support of Donald Trump to the tune of a million and a half dollars raised for his campaign,” she said. “The average donation was $28, so even here, in the abysmal Biden economy, people are coming out and they are financially supporting this president.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Supreme Court grapples with obstruction charge lobbed at 350 Jan. 6 defendants, Trump

By Stephen Dinan and Alex Swoyer | The Washington Times The Supreme Court struggled Tuesday with the government’s case against 350 Jan. 6 defendants from the 2021 protest at the Capitol, with justices pondering how a law written in the wake of the Enron document-shredding scandal can be applied to those who brought the 2020 election certification to a halt. The law criminalizes obstructing or impeding an official proceeding, which the Biden administration says goes beyond courtrooms and criminal investigations and covers Congress’ electoral vote counting that the demonstration delayed. But GOP-appointed justices repeatedly challenged the Justice Department’s aggressive use of the law against the Jan. 6 defendants, questioning why it wasn’t also used in 2020 against rioters who att...

Bolton says he will write in Dick Cheney for president again this year, over Biden or Trump

BY LAUREN SFORZA | The Hill Former national security adviser John Bolton revealed he will write in former Vice President Dick Cheney for president in November — for the second time. “Well, I might as well say it now. I voted for Dick Cheney,” Bolton told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Wednesday on “The Source,” when asked who he wrote in for president in the 2020 election. “And I’ll vote for Dick Cheney again this November.” Collins noted that Bolton had not previously disclosed the information. Asked why he has thrown his support behind Cheney, Bolton said he believed the former vice president would be better than President Biden and former President Trump. READ THE FIULL STORY AT THE HILL

Read the questions prospective Trump jurors have to answer before they’re selected in hush money trial

Annabella Rosciglione | Washington Examiner The jury selection process is tricky in high-profile cases, especially when involving former President Donald Trump.  The jury is being selected for Trump’s New York hush money case. Judge Juan Merchan indicated that the trial would move forth by outlining his jury selection process in a letter sent to the defense and prosecution. In a typical manner for a trial, possible jurors may excuse themselves before the trial for an “honest, legitimate and good faith reason” they may not be able to serve on the trial.  After that process, the remaining possible jurors will be asked various questions to determine if they can serve in People v. Donald Trump.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Editorial: Trump abortion policy a turn toward state’s rights

By Rocky Mountain Voice Editorial Board The issue: President Donald Trump this week announced his abortion policy, favoring states independently deciding how to regulate abortion. We say: Regardless of your position on abortion, this view respects the concept of state's rights written into the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by the Founding Fathers, and is a respectful position for freedom and liberty. The Founding Fathers of a young nation they called the United States of America never had the intention for an over-intrusive federal government to create a nanny state, where our every action is regulated and legislated. We were to be an independent, free people; a republic, if we could keep it. In the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the final entry into the Bil...

Trump’s abortion stance prompts pushback from Lindsey Graham, others rally behind former president

By Elizabeth Elkind , Julia Johnson  | FOX News A top Republican senator and Trump-endorser is among those criticizing the former president over his Monday announcement on abortion, in which he claimed restrictions on the procedure should be decided by individual states.  "I respectfully disagree with President Trump’s statement that abortion is a states’ rights issue," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a statement on Monday morning.  Trump made his much-anticipated announcement in a video the same day, stating his belief that the states should legislate their own limitations on abortion rather than the federal government.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz calls on Colorado Republicans to ‘stand with President Trump’

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice PUEBLO -- Don't let it be said Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz can't read a room. As he stepped to the stage to deliver a keynote address to Colorado Republicans here Saturday, he could have stopped after his first few words. "This is Donald Trump's party, and I am a Donald Trump Republican," Gaetz started. Delegates immediately erupted in applause for the self-described firebrand in Congress, brought to Colorado by another firebrand, his seatmate in Congress. "It is hard to talk about the good coming out of Colorado, without talking about my favorite Congresswoman, Lauren Boebert," Gaetz said. He also joined an endorsement by Trump for Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams, who is seeking Colorado's 5th District seat i...

Trump, RNC raised $65.6 million in March, outpacing March 2020; has $93.1 million in cash on hand

By ALEX ISENSTADT | POLITICO Former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee raised $65.6 million in March and ended the month with $93.1 million in cash on hand, according to figures provided to POLITICO. Trump’s allies hope the amount will ease concerns about his fundraising and the cash deficit he is facing against President Joe Biden. The figure — which covers a number of fundraising vehicles that will all have to disclose their activities to the Federal Election Commission later this month — outpaces the $62 million that Trump raised in March 2020, when he was running for reelection. Biden’s political operation has yet to announce its March fundraising haul, though it has said it raised $25 million during a New York City fundraiser last week that was atten...

With or without Kennedy, Trump would defeat Biden in 6 of 7 swing states, poll finds

60% disapprove of Biden's job performance, 74% say inflation, border security has worsened By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice Donald Trump would win election in six of seven swing states with or without Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in the field, a Wall Street Journal poll in March of likely voters finds.
