Donald Trump can basically kill the Republican primaries if he is victorious in the states of Iowa and New Hampshire in January, writes USA Today's David Jackson.
His clear opinion leadership has put him in a favorable position, but it takes a lot to row the victory ashore, writes Jackson. In Iowa, it's mostly about getting his supporters to actually vote—something he stressed the importance of because positive polls can make people think their votes aren't needed.
Jackson also writes that early wins are important for Trump, as he may later be forced to deal with his lawsuits in parallel.
And if it ends up being Donald Trump and Joe Biden who are pitted against each other, Trump has now gained even more tailwind, writes Nate Cohn in the New York Times. This is because in a new survey, for the first time, he has greater support than Biden in the youngest voter group.
The explanation lies in Biden's support for Israel, according to Cohn. The survey shows that young voters largely believe that Israel is not doing enough to protect civilians in Gaza. It is easy to believe that that group, often progressive and left-leaning voters, prefers Biden, Cohn writes.
"Right now that's not the case"

Biden's age denial creates friction in the team
US President Joe Biden seems reluctant to acknowledge the physical limitations of his age - something that creates friction in his inner circle. This is reported by Axios.
Senior advisers and his wife Jill Biden want him to rest more and be vigilant about his health as the campaign for next year's presidential election gets under way.
Biden is often reported to say things like he feels "younger than his age" and some employees believe that he himself does not realize how old he can be perceived as.
If the currently 81-year-old Biden wins the election next year, he will remain president until he is 86. Donald Trump is only a few years younger, 77 years old.

Therefore, young Biden fails: "Made me very angry"
Support for US President Joe Biden has fallen among young voters since he moved into the White House, according to polls. NBC has interviewed several younger people to try to get a picture of what it is that makes them dislike him. Some of them point to the fact that Biden's election promises have not been fulfilled, or even broken.
Jayden Camarena from California highlights the climate as an area where she thinks Biden has not lived up to expectations. Among other things, because he approved a controversial oil project in Alaska.
- It made me very angry. He had painted a picture of himself as, you know, a person trying to ameliorate climate change,” she says.
Even Evan McKenzie of Wisconsin is skeptical about voting for Biden again. Among other things, he is disappointed with how the president handled the war between Israel and Hamas.
- I honestly wouldn't be able to live with myself if I voted for someone who made the decisions that Biden made, says McKenzie.
