Deep dives
GOP primary becomes a two-person race with Ron DeSantis dropping out
With Ron DeSantis dropping out of the GOP primary just before New Hampshire's first in the nation primary, the race has become a two-person contest between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. DeSantis explained in a video posted on Twitter that he saw a majority of Republican primary voters wanting to give Trump another chance, leading him to suspend his campaign. Nikki Haley, the sole remaining challenger, faces an uphill battle in New Hampshire, with polling consistently showing Trump in the lead. Although New Hampshire has a more moderate electorate, it is still seen as Trump's race to lose.
Allegations of misconduct by Fulton County DA Fanni Willis may impact Trump case
Allegations of misconduct by Fulton County District Attorney Fanni Willis have recently emerged, with accusations that she hired her romantic partner as a special prosecutor in the Trump case. The partner allegedly received significant payments for his involvement, some of which were allegedly used for lavish vacations for the couple. These claims were supported by credit card statements submitted in a divorce case. Willis has responded by accusing the wife of harassment and obstructing her Trump case. The allegations, along with video footage of Willis expressing concerns about dating subordinates, undermine public trust in her case against Trump.
New York City's East Village faces unsanitary conditions due to migrant crisis
Residents of New York City's East Village neighborhood are expressing outrage over the unsanitary conditions caused by a migrant intake facility. The facility is for migrants who are seeking access to the city's shelter system after their initial stays have ended. The mess includes not only litter, but also feces and urine, posing health risks in a densely populated area. Apart from the inconvenience to residents, this situation also threatens the local businesses in the area. Democrat mayors, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams, are critical of the administration's handling of the border issue, although their focus is on securing federal funds rather than closing the border.
On eve of New Hampshire primary Ron DeSantis drops out of presidential race, allegations of an affair could derail Fani Willis’s case against Trump, and New York City migrants cause unsanitary conditions.
