Majority of Americans Expect Donald Trump to Win Against Joe Biden, According to Poll

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM Joe Biden should prepare to receive a big smackdown if a new poll can be believed. The poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov reveals that a significant majority of Americans believe former President Donald Trump would defeat President Biden if they were their parties' respective nominees for president. The poll asked respondents to predict the winner "regardless of who you prefer," and 44 percent chose Trump, while 35 percent chose Biden. The remaining 21 percent were undecided. Interestingly, the poll also found that Americans are evenly split in terms of candidate support, with 43 percent supporting Biden and an equal percentage supporting Trump. Six percent of respondents selected "other," 5 percent were unsure, and 3 percent stated that they wou...

Nikki Haley wants to knock out Trump in New Hampshire, but Iowa hobbled her fight

By Mabinty Quarshie, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley's third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses on Monday dampened the momentum she had built and provided oxygen for her main rival, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), to continue his 2024 campaign. Haley headed into the Iowa caucuses polling in second place above DeSantis but far behind former President Donald Trump. But her less rabid fan base and “life-threatening” cold temperatures meant she didn't emerge from the Hawkeye State as the clear alternative to Trump. Trump won 51% of the vote, with 99% of the vote counted. He was followed by DeSantis at a distant 21.2% and Haley at 19.1%. The third-place finish likely means that Haley will still have to continue her bat...

Trump attends NYC Carroll defamation trial and slams ‘attempted extortion’

By Barnini Chakraborty, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Former President Donald Trump arrived at a snow-covered Manhattan federal courthouse on Tuesday for the start of the penalty phase of his defamation lawsuit brought by former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll.  Fresh off his big win in the Iowa caucuses the night before, Trump could be forced to pay Carroll more than $10 million in damages for allegedly dragging her name and reputation through the mud after she accused him of sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1995.  Trump vehemently denied the allegations, claiming he had "never met this person in my life" and that she was "not my type," and accused Carroll of using his name to sell her book...

Nikki Haley to skip DeSantis debate unless Trump attends

By Julia Johnson, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley will skip a New Hampshire Republican primary debate unless former President Donald Trump attends. Haley's campaign announced her decision on Tuesday morning following the Iowa caucuses, in which she finished third. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) already confirmed his intention to attend a Thursday debate hosted by WMUR-TV and ABC News at Saint Anselm College. “We’ve had five great debates in this campaign,” Haley said in a statement. “Unfortunately, Donald Trump has ducked all of them. He has nowhere left to hide. READ FULL ARTICLE ON GAZETTE.COM

Single vote blocks Trump from clean sweep of Iowa caucuses

By Mabinty Quarshie, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Former President Donald Trump won all but one of Iowa's 99 counties during Monday night's caucuses, with a single vote in Johnson County blocking Trump from a clean sweep of the Hawkeye State. Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley won Johnson County by 1,271 votes, just one more than Trump's 1,270, according to results from the Republican Party of Iowa. It was the only county that Haley or any other GOP primary rival won during the caucuses as Trump walked away with a resounding win in the first contest of the 2024 nominating calendar.

Vivek Ramaswamy suspends his 2024 Republican presidential bid, endorses rival Donald Trump

By BILL BARROW - Associated Press | SOURCE: COLORADO POLITICS Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy suspended his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Monday and endorsed former President Donald Trump after finishing fourth in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses. Ramaswamy said he made the decision after determining there is no path forward for him in the race, "absent things that we don’t want to see happen in this country.” The 38-year-old political novice, who sought to replicate Trump’s rise as a bombastic, wealthy outsider, said he called the former president earlier Monday evening to congratulate him on his victory in Iowa. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis came in second, with former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley just behind in third. READ F...

Trump notches commanding win in the Iowa caucuses, as DeSantis edges Haley for second place

By STEVE PEOPLES, THOMAS BEAUMONT and HANNAH FINGERHUT - Associated Press | SOURCE: Colorado Politics DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump scored a record-setting win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday with his rivals languishing far behind, a victory that sent a resounding message that the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination is his to lose. Trump was on track to set a record for a contested Iowa Republican caucus with a margin of victory exceeding the nearly 13 percentage points that Bob Dole won by in 1988. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis finished a distant second ahead of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. In what was expected to be a low-turnout affair, caucus-goers endured life-threatening cold and dangerous driving conditions to meet in hundreds of schools, ...

Colo GOP breaks bylaw to sway primary election. Many party members not pleased

SOURCE: COLORADO PEAK POLITICS Nothing triggers a Republican quicker than the suggestion of cheating, an unfair playing field, or being told what to do by The Man. Or at least it used to. Under the new regime of Colorado GOP chairman Dave Williams, party bosses have now decided for us who we must vote for in the Republican presidential primary. The Central Committee on Sunday abandoned the party’s revered history of remaining neutral in primary races and decided for us that Donald Trump should win and we should just do what they say and vote for him. Screw our own free will. It’s not clear how many of the 400 central committee members tuned in to an online Zoom meeting to cast their ballots, but the measure to endorse Trump passed with 65% of the vote, reports Colorado ...

Colorado Republican Party endorses Donald Trump ahead of state’s 2024 presidential primary

By Ernest Luning | SOURCE: Colorado Politics The Colorado Republican Party endorsed former President Donald Trump’s bid for another term late Sunday, nearly two months before state voters are set to cast ballots in Colorado's presidential primary. In an unprecedented decision, the state GOP's central committee voted to endorse Trump over objections from some Republicans that the move abandons the party's policy of staying neutral in primaries. The party approved the endorsement in an online meeting of its roughly 400-member governing committee, held on the eve of the GOP's first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, where polling shows Trump holds a commanding lead. The endorsement resolution passed with 65% of the committee voting in favor, 34% voting against, and the remainder abstain...
