The Supreme Court agreed to take up whether former President Trump can be disqualified from appearing on Colorado’s ballot over his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, setting up a historic case that could upend the presidential election.
The justices’ order sets the case up to be heard at a speedy pace, with oral arguments scheduled for Feb. 8 and a decision to follow that could spark Trump’s removal from the ballot in states across the country.
“If Trump wasn’t running,” said Joe Biden last week, “I’m not sure I’d be running.” That’s a curiously uninspiring remark for an American leader seeking to win an election to make. Yet ever since 2019, Biden’s pitch for the presidency has been essentially negative: if you don’t support me, you’ll get him.
The trouble for Joe is that, as we approach the start of another election year, it’s beginning to look as if he can’t stop Trump. Brace yourselves, then, for the Great Election Freak-Out of 2024.
Heeee’s baaaaaack!
Donald Trump is the clear favourite to return as the Republican candidate for US president, and opinion polls also give him the edge in a rematch with the visibly ageing Joe Biden.
If it seems like Trump never went away, that’s because his enormous ego refused to let go of the job that he claims to this day was stolen from him in a rigged election. He has never conceded defeat.
Nothing says don’t take us seriously like Colorado’s Supreme Court decision ostensibly taking Donald Trump off the November 2024 presidential ballot. The split 4-3 decision by the far-left wing of the far-left court did the bidding of the Democrats’ fringe lawfare crowd by proclaiming without evidence or precedence that the former president is a dyed-in-the-wool insurrectionist.
A new survey of Americans suggests that a felony conviction of President Trump could be a deal breaker for most Americans, despite the fact that most Republicans say they would vote for him even if convicted.
The survey, conducted by Ipsos for Reuters, found that just 25 percent of Americans say they would support Mr. Trump in the event of a felony conviction. Another 59 percent of Americans say they would not vote for Mr. Trump if he is convicted. About 16 percent say that they “don’t know.”
With the West in a desperate search for leadership, the prospect of Donald Trump returning to the White House next year might be just the fillip it needs.
US president Joe Biden’s three-year tenure in the White House has largely been characterised by his penchant for capitulation, from overseeing the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan to his constant dithering over the Ukraine conflict. His failure to provide Kyiv with the military kit it requires to make a decisive breakthrough in the conflict, informed, in part, by his fear of provoking the Kremlin, has been a key factor in creating the current stalemate.
There’s a huge difference between some chud with a username like @MagaBeefcake8008 insisting that Trump can win in the general election, and some neutral guy who’s earned a little bit of respect for actually performing adequately over time with his predictions saying so. Well, that’s happening. People who are not bizarre weirdos who previously thought Donald Trump was doomed in the general are now arguing that Donald Trump might well win. Is it true? That’s debatable, and I am not convinced. But what’s not debatable is that some intelligent and reasonable people who are not involved in Trump’s campaign and who have no dog in the fight have changed their minds about Trump’s ability to win in November. Wherever you stand on an issue, you have to consider all the evidence, even if it challenges what you think. Especially if it challenges what you think.
“He is dangerously close to getting re-elected!” This is how, in a recent issue, the London weekly The Economist presented Donald Trump’s chances of returning to the White House next year. This was based on a few polls indicating that, if nominated, Trump would have a chance of winning next November.
One must always be careful about predictions, especially by the press.
The Economist put Indonesian’s ruler General Suharto on its cover and predicted he would emerge as the most powerful leader in Asia. Less than a year later, Suharto was swept away by a popular uprising.
With more and more polls showing former President Trump building an insuperable lead over incumbent Joe Biden, the leftist media has become increasingly shrill and panicked over the return of Trump to the White House and what that will mean for them. Their fears often take on a psycho-sexual nature as they seem to visualize themselves at risk of being marched off to extermination camps or heroically staring down a conservative firing squad.
Former President Donald J. Trump is planning an extreme expansion of his first-term crackdown on immigration if he returns to power in 2025 — including preparing to round up undocumented people already in the United States on a vast scale and detain them in sprawling camps while they wait to be expelled.
The plans would sharply restrict both legal and illegal immigration in a multitude of ways.
Mr. Trump wants to revive his first-term border policies, including banning entry by people from certain Muslim-majority nations and reimposing a Covid 19-era policy of refusing asylum claims — though this time he would base that refusal on assertions that migrants carry other infectious diseases like tuberculosis.
Sounds Great!
OTTAWA—Canadians think Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would handle another Donald Trump U.S. presidency better than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a new poll suggests.
Thirty-seven per cent of respondents to the latest national survey from Abacus Data for the Star said Poilievre would be better able to deal with Trump — if he won the U.S. presidential election in 2024 — than Trudeau.
Only 28 per cent said Trudeau would handle a Trump White House better, while 31 per cent said they didn’t know.
Alarm bells will likely ring for the White House as the US president is relying on a high youth turnout to be re-elected in 2024
Young Americans strongly prefer Donald Trump to Joe Biden in the 2024 election, a poll has found, amid persistent concerns over the US president’s age.
Mr Trump, 77, leads Mr Biden, 80, among voters under the age of 35 by 20 points in the latest poll by the Washington Post and ABC News.
Mr Trump had the support of 53 per cent of the 18 to 35-year-olds surveyed, while Mr Biden was backed by just 38 per cent.
A new poll that shows President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump virtually tied in a 2024 rematch shocked mainstream media hosts over the long weekend.
The Wall Street Journal poll, released Saturday, found that in a head-to-head matchup, Trump and Biden are split evenly at 46 percent support. That result, ABC News host George Stephanopoulos said on Sunday, is “kind of shocking” in light of the indictments against Trump.
Donald Trump has expanded his dominating lead for the Republican presidential nomination, a new Wall Street Journal poll shows, as GOP primary voters overwhelmingly see his four criminal prosecutions as lacking merit and about half say the indictments fuel their support for him.
