Deep dives
Trump's Supreme Court Nomination
Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, and while there is likely to be opposition from the left, his confirmation is expected to proceed smoothly. Seven Democratic senators have already stated that they will not filibuster the nomination, indicating a bipartisan path forward. The confirmation process will be guided by a team that includes former New Hampshire Senator Kelly Iot, who will introduce Gorsuch to fellow senators. Other key figures in this effort are experienced political operatives who will support Gorsuch's nomination journey through the Senate.
Public Opinion on Voter Fraud Claims
A recent Politico Morning Consult poll revealed that one in four voters still believe Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. Interestingly, a greater number of respondents felt that Trump personally benefited from electoral issues compared to Hillary Clinton. The poll also indicated that 49% of voters approve of Trump's job performance, contrasting with 41% who disapprove. This data highlights the polarized perceptions of Trump's leadership and the persistent divide in public belief regarding electoral integrity.
