Results for: 2024 Presidential Election

Former US President Donald Trump has proposed abolishing federal income tax if he wins the upcoming presidential election. While Trump has long advocated for tax cuts, he is now proposing a more radical plan to eliminate the tax altogether. Trump claimed that by imposing higher tariffs on imports, he could recoup the revenue lost from the tax abolition. However, experts have warned that this would likely lead to increased costs for businesses and consumers, offsetting the benefits of the tax cut. The proposal has received mixed reactions, with some economists expressing skepticism about its feasibility and potential consequences.

Following former President Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 counts of falsified business records, Yale Law Professor Jed Rubenfeld has analyzed the legal strategies Trump’s defense team could pursue to minimize the impact on his 2024 presidential campaign. One option is an appeal through the New York Appeals Court system, which could take years to complete and result in “irreparable harm” if the conviction is overturned later. Another option is to sue in federal court and request an emergency temporary restraining order to halt Judge Juan Merchan from entering a formal judgment of guilt until the federal courts can review the constitutional arguments against the conviction. Rubenfeld emphasizes that Trump is not yet a “convicted felon” until a judge enters the judgment of guilt, so there may still be avenues to challenge the outcome before the election.

The Georgia Court of Appeals has halted the election subversion conspiracy case against former US President Donald Trump and co-defendants, potentially delaying trial proceedings until after the 2024 presidential election. The decision is based on a disqualification request against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who faces allegations of a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor. Trump’s defense team claims financial benefits from the relationship, but the court found insufficient evidence. The ruling provides Trump with a reprieve as he campaigns for a possible return to the White House. The Georgia case is part of Trump’s broader effort to challenge the results of the 2020 election, while he also faces other legal battles, including a conviction for falsifying business records in New York.

With the Republican National Convention approaching, former President Donald Trump’s campaign is intensifying its search for a running mate. Several potential contenders have been requested to submit documents for vetting, including North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and Ohio Senator JD Vance. Other names being considered include Senators Tom Cotton and Tim Scott, Representatives Byron Donalds and Elise Stefanik, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson. The Trump campaign has not officially confirmed the list of candidates under consideration. The final decision on the running mate is expected to be announced shortly before or during the convention, which begins on July 15th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Former President Trump’s defense attorneys are requesting the termination of a gag order restricting his public statements about the recent trial where he was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. They argue that the trial has concluded and the stated bases for the gag order no longer exist. They also cite Trump’s First Amendment rights as a leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election and contend that the order impinges on the free speech rights of the American people. The defense team asserts that the gag order was unconstitutional and part of a rigged trial. Trump’s sentencing date is set for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention.

Former President Trump’s felony conviction on charges related to falsifying business records raises concerns about his future Secret Service protection. The agency has stated that the outcome of the case will not affect their protective mission, but Democrats have introduced a bill to strip convicted felons from such protection. While Trump’s appeals process could take months or years, the Trump campaign remains confident in his chances of winning the presidency again.

Former President Trump quickly returned to his focus on his 2024 election rematch with President Biden after being found guilty on 34 felonies in his New York City criminal trial. Despite the guilty verdict, the Trump campaign has emphasized that their mission continues and that they will fight hard in the upcoming election. The Trump team has reached out to supporters through email appeals and fundraising efforts, calling the trial a “RIGGED political Witch Hunt” and labeling the former president a “political prisoner.”

Former US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering appointing Tesla CEO Elon Musk as an advisor in the White House ahead of the 2024 presidential election. The discussions between Trump and Musk have focused on how Musk could provide “formal input” on issues such as the border, the economy, and preventing voter fraud. Although the exact details have not been finalized, the two have been speaking “several times a month” and Musk has previously expressed his opposition to President Biden’s administration. Musk has not previously donated heavily to presidential campaigns, but he has contributed to both Republicans and Democrats in the past.

Despite his surprising lead as of May 24th according to recent polls, Trump’s victory is far from guaranteed. However, the Republican base solidly supports him and views the trials as mere political stunts. Biden, on the other hand, faces the challenge of boosting his approval ratings, which have been stuck in the low 40s. Factors that could potentially shift the election’s dynamics include the upcoming debate, Trump’s vice presidential pick, legal rulings, and minority voter preferences. It remains uncertain whether Trump’s legal troubles will fade or persist, and the courts’ decisions will undoubtedly influence the outcome. The next significant evaluation point is Labor Day, as campaigns prepare for the final stretch.

Former President Trump endorsed a primary challenger against Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.) on Tuesday, criticizing Good’s previous opposition and recent support as ‘too late’. Trump’s endorsement of John McGuire, a Virginia state senator and Navy Seal, comes after Good endorsed Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) for president in 2024. Good, one of the few representatives to initially oppose Trump, later endorsed him after DeSantis exited the race. Trump criticized Good’s support for DeSantis and his vote against aid for Israel. Good’s primary challenge is further compounded by Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) expressing plans to campaign against Good in Virginia.
