What is Trump going to do as President? Make a deal or seek revenge

Nov 7, 2024 | telegraph.co.uk | Jim Antle

Donald Trump’s victory speech did not include any attacks on his enemies Credit: Brian Snyder/REUTERS Donald Trump’s victory speech after winning the 2024 presidential election was very much a Donald Trump speech, full of random asides, anecdotes, bluster, and braggadocio. One thing it was relatively short on, however, was the airing of grievances against his rivals. Then came a pair of boringly conventional press statements about his Democratic opponents later the next day, issued under the...
Is Donald Trump really winning the election? Opinion polls are putting Republicans in danger

Oct 24, 2024 | telegraph.co.uk | Jim Antle

Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson Credit: Carlos Barria/REUTERS The conventional wisdom about the US presidential election has taken a sharp turn from the presumed inevitability of a victory for Vice President Kamala Harris to former President Donald Trump having the race in the bag. With fewer than two weeks to go until election day and early voting already happening in multiple states, Trump’s biggest risk right now might be Republican overconfidence. Not to pick on anyone in particular, but...
The telltale signs that Kamala Harris knows she’s losing

Oct 10, 2024 | telegraph.co.uk | Jim Antle

Kamala Harris: the behaviour of the campaigns would indicate nervousness among the Democrats Yuki Iwamura/AP If you judge solely by the behaviour of the two campaigns, if the election were held today, former President Donald Trump would return to the White House next year. Vice President Kamala Harris has abandoned a seemingly successful strategy of limiting her media exposure to highly scripted events, turning instead to a series of interviews. To some degree, Harris is imitating Trump by...
Hurricane Milton could cost Kamala Harris the presidential election

Oct 7, 2024 | telegraph.co.uk | Jim Antle

Devastation left behind by Hurricane Helene Eduardo Munoz/REUTERS The 2024 presidential campaign is entering its final weeks, which has everyone speculating about what late-breaking news or revelation could swing it in one direction or the other. Hurricanes Helene and Milton raise the prospect of this year’s October surprise being an act of God. Both the storm that has already occurred and the one about to make landfall could be consequential in a contest that is well within the margin of...
The Republican presidential field is shrinking, but Trump's lead isn't

Jan 5, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Jim Antle

The great winnowing of the Republican presidential field has happened, but so far a more competitive race against former President Donald Trump has not. With less than two weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses and the first primary ballots being cast, one of the core theories of the Republican presidential race — that if the field shrinks, so will Trump’s commanding lead — is about to face its first real test.

DeSantis leaves it all on the field in Iowa

Jan 4, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Jim Antle

Don’t tell Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) he is an underdog as the Iowa caucuses approach. He rang in the new year rallying Republicans in the state to put him on a glide path to the party’s 2024 presidential nomination. “I think we have an opportunity to just make a statement that in this country — it’s we the people that ultimately decide these things,” he said in West Des Moines on New Year’s Eve.
How DeSantis could use Civil War controversy to hit Haley on abortion

Dec 30, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Jim Antle

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and his supporters haven’t been shy about hitting former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on her failure to mention slavery as a cause of the Civil War. DeSantis’s own stab at explaining the Civil War raises questions about whether he will use this as an opening to also hit Haley on abortion. FOUR TIMES NIKKI HALEY HAS HINDERED HER PRESIDENTIAL BID"Of course, you have the issue of slavery," DeSantis said of the war’s origins.
Republicans begin 2024 with a sense of electoral optimism

Dec 28, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Jim Antle

For Republicans, it could be a very happy new year indeed. The 2024 elections hold the potential for a trifecta: winning unified control of the federal government, including all its elected branches, for the first time in eight years. “Could” is the operative word, however. Republicans have an opportunity, but they must capitalize on it to bring their electoral dreams to fruition.
Nikki Haley Civil War flap evokes memories of John McCain Confederate flag controversy

Dec 28, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Jim Antle

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley has a path to the 2024 Republican presidential nomination similar to that of the late Sen. John McCain. Haley may have stepped into a controversy similar to one that bedeviled McCain in both his GOP presidential primary bids. DESANTIS CAMPAIGN ON THE BRINK AS IOWA CAUCUSES NEARWhile Haley was campaigning in New Hampshire on Wednesday, a voter asked her what caused the Civil War.
Why the Trump-Haley ticket talk won't die

Dec 24, 2023 | washingtonexaminer.com | Jim Antle

The speculation that former President Donald Trump will pick former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley as his running mate next year won’t die off despite efforts from several camps to kill it.
