The 2024 US election

Trump's dominance continues – but Haley is moving forward  

With just over two months left until the primary election in New Hampshire, Donald Trump continues to dominate among the state's voters, according to a new poll from the Washington Post/Monmouth University. 

 

 46 percent of the state's likely voters favor Trump, compared to runner-up Nikki Haley at 18 percent. The poll gives some signs that Haley has strengthened her position - support is increasing and more voters are identifying her as the second best candidate - but she is still a long way behind.  

 

New Hampshire holds the second primary, behind Iowa. And in both states, Trump leads by a large margin. The newspaper notes that the ex-president can quickly secure the candidacy if he gets off to a flying start with two victories.

Verdict in Colorado: Trump can stand in the presidential election  

 

Donald Trump may have participated in a "rebellion" against the United States, but he is still eligible to stand in the presidential election in Colorado. A judge in the state has decided after the left-liberal group Crew argued that he should not be allowed to run.  

 

Crew referred to a passage in the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which states that politicians who engage in "insurrection or revolt" against the United States may not participate in future elections, but the judge found no evidence that the amendment applies to presidents. Similar decisions have recently been made in other states, according to Politico.  

 

In a statement, Trump's campaign staff praised the decision, noting that the judge also ruled that the ex-president actually had a role in the storming of the Capitol.
