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...

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...

Vivek Ramaswamy Stands Firm On Jan 6. Conspiracy Theories

At a live CNN town hall on Wednesday evening, Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur seeking the Republican presidential nomination, stood by his recent comments suggesting that the U.S. Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, was an “inside job” that the federal government had an active role in fomenting.CNN’s Abby Philip, who moderated the town hall at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa, asked Ramaswamy how he felt about one of the Jan. 6 defendants accused of violence using Ramaswamy’s words about Jan. 6 at his sentencing the following day. Ramaswamy had made waves at the Dec. 6 GOP debate by declaring that he was the only person onstage willing to admit that “Jan. 6 now does look like an inside job.”“If you had told me [three years ago] that January 6 was in any way an inside job, the...

The DeSantis-Trump Social Security Punt

Donald Trump wasn’t on stage at the GOP debate on Wednesday, though he seemed to occupy Ron DeSantis’s mind. That would explain the Florida Governor’s punt on reforming entitlements that ruled out even gradually raising the Social Security retirement age. The former President this spring lambasted Mr. DeSantis for supporting Paul Ryan’s entitlement reforms while in Congress. “DeSantis is colluding with his globalist handlers to go full Never Trump in order to gaslight the people into thinking that Medicare and Social Security should be ripped away from hard-working Americans,” the Trump campaign declared.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

‘He Needs A Headline:’ RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Swipes At Ramaswamy After Debate

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel fired back at 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday, saying the entrepreneur had attacked her and the broader GOP establishment because his poll numbers are flagging.“Listen, he’s at 4%. He needs a headline,” McDaniel said on Fox Business. “I’m gonna say what I’ve been saying to Republicans all along: Our headline should be about Joe Biden, the border, fentanyl, crime — terrible things that are happening in this country that the American people are looking to our party for solutions.”“But I also will stand by my record as RNC chair.”Ramaswamy was one of five candidates to appear at the third Republican primary debate on Wednesday in Miami. During his opening remarks, he issued a sharp barb towards McDaniel after Republic...

Nikki Haley Stands Out on Foreign Policy at the Republican Debate

The third Republican presidential debate Wednesday night was useful in many ways, and especially in revealing the emerging GOP fault line on foreign policy. Nikki Haley and Chris Christie stood out for supporting Israel and Ukraine and scoring President Biden for weakness that invited aggression from adversaries. Vivek Ramaswamy showed himself to be a full-throated isolationist, while Ron DeSantis and Tim Scott were hedgers, especially on aiding Ukraine. Front-runner Donald Trump again was a no-show as he tries to persuade everyone that the campaign is over before anyone votes. His foreign-policy views have turned in a more isolationist direction since 2020, to the extent he’s clear about anything. His main argument is that no wars began while he was President, so no wars will begin if he...
