Ahead of this year’s US presidential polls, Biden wins Wyoming’s caucuses | World News

Joe Biden, Biden (Photo: Reuters)2 min read Last Updated : Apr 14 2024 | 12:05 AM IST President Joe Biden nudged further ahead in the Democratic nomination for reelection by winning the party caucuses in Wyoming and was the only choice on the ballot later Saturday in Alaska. As two of the least populated states, Alaska and Wyoming play minuscule roles in both intraparty and general election voting in presidential election years. Biden effectively clinched the Democratic nomination on March 12 with the Georgia primary and is now all but certain to face former President Donald Trump as the Republican nominee in November. ALASKAAlaska Democrats are holding a voice vote for their party-run preference poll at in-person and virtual district meetings. Biden's is the...

DeSantis Bets on Iowa Caucuses to Keep Him Afloat in GOP Nomination Race

Dec. 31, 2023 11:01 am ETELKADER, Iowa—With the Iowa caucuses fast approaching, Ron DeSantis is betting heavily on a strong performance in the state to preserve his viability in the Republican nomination race as he faces a drumbeat of questions about his campaign strategy. DeSantis is polling neck and neck with former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in Iowa in their quest for second place behind the front-runner, former President Donald Trump, but DeSantis lags behind Haley in New Hampshire and South Carolina, where voters will make their picks in late January and February, respectively. Copyright ©2024 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Civil War Gaffe Undercuts Nikki Haley’s 2024 Pitch

Updated Dec. 29, 2023 10:24 am ETRepublican Nikki Haley, who until this week had run a disciplined and largely error-free presidential campaign, has been forced into an uncomfortable and unexpected new chore: doing cleanup on a blunder related to the Civil War and slavery.The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador was forced into defensive mode after she omitted slavery from an answer she gave at a New Hampshire campaign event where she was asked what prompted the Civil War. Her long-winded response avoided giving the answer to a basic question most learned in grade school, teeing up a barrage of criticism from political foes.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Chris Christie Says This Is The Real Reason Behind Nikki Haley’s Civil War Response

Chris Christie criticized his fellow Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley on Thursday over her failure to say slavery was the cause of the American Civil War, claiming she did so because “she’s unwilling to offend anyone by telling the truth.”“She’s smart and she knows better. And she didn’t say it because she’s a racist, because she’s not. I know her well and I don’t believe Nikki has a racist bone in her body,” the former New Jersey governor said at a town hall event in Epping, New Hampshire.“The reason she did it is just as bad, if not worse, and should make everybody concerned about her candidacy,” he continued. “She did it because she’s unwilling to offend anyone by telling the truth.”Christie suggested the incident demonstrates that Haley lacks backbone to lead the country an...

Nikki Haley Says ‘Of Course’ Civil War Was About Slavery, Following Criticism

Updated Dec. 28, 2023 7:38 pm ETRepublican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Thursday the Civil War was caused by a fight over slavery as she tried to tamp down a political uproar hours after she failed to mention it when asked about the conflict’s origins.“Of course the Civil War was about slavery, we know that, that’s the easy part of it,” she said on a Pulse of NH radio show. “I’m from the South. Of course you know it’s about slavery.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Ramaswamy campaign stops TV ad spending, but promises ‘major’ upset in Iowa

The presidential campaign of Vivek Ramaswamy, the conspiracy-loving biotech entrepreneur staging an upstart Republican run for president, has paused spending on TV advertisements, an unusual move at a critical juncture in the GOP White House primary. But Ramaswamy’s campaign said that reducing its presence on broadcast and cable TV will allow it to pour resources into digital ad buys that it suggested would lead to a staggering upset win for the candidate on Jan. 15 in the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses. Ramaswamy appears to be far behind in the state, and political analysts see no pathway to victory for him. “We are not spending on broadcast/cable. We are spending on digital,” Tricia McLaughlin, a campaign spokeswoman, said in a text message to the Daily News on Wednesday, adding that...

Haley Endorsement Marks Presidential Return of Koch Donor Network

The billionaire Koch family and its network of like-minded donors are tiptoeing back into presidential politics, putting money behind their opposition to former President Donald Trump and backing an alternative candidate in the 2024 Republican primary, Nikki Haley.So far, it hasn’t committed a lot of money to its play, which is seen by some as a long-shot bid to reassert influence in a party dominated by Trump and as a way to appease donors who want to be more politically active.  Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Can Nikki Haley’s ‘Strategy of Conviction’ Beat Trump?

New YorkNikki Haley has a theory about Donald Trump. When he “senses one ounce of weakness, he topples you,” she says. If he runs into “any amount of strength, he walks away from you.” Mr. Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations is describing how she plans to confront—and defeat—her old boss in the Republican presidential primary. “I’m not movable when it comes to what I believe, and I call you out like it is. He knows that.” Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

The Anti-Spectacle of the Republican Debates

What were the takeaways from the final Republican debate of the year? Who won? Who lost? Were the various gaffes forgettable, or can they lodge themselves in the addled brain of a viewer in Iowa or New Hampshire, lasting there in the grooves well into mid-January, when she will go to put in her vote? Was that candidate’s feeble command of the lectern in Tuscaloosa—or in Milwaukee or Miami before it—a preview of a career of wannabe tyranny? Are there heels hidden in his boots? Paraphrasing some of the punditry response to the Republican debates is not done scornfully. Everyone has a job to do, and everyone, from the press to the moderators to the shrinking crowd of hopeful extremists shouting over one another on a lit stage, has worked in tedious harmony, these past several months, to fill...
