Donald Trump plans to sue The Des Moines Register for publishing a pre-election poll that showed Vice President Kamala Harris with a 3-point lead in Iowa. Trump, speaking publicly for the first time since winning the presidency, called the poll 'fraud' and 'election interference'.
Donald Trump said he plans to sue an Iowa newspaper that printed an outlier election poll that showed Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris ahead in the state by 3 points. Trump spoke publicly for the first time Monday since winning the presidency. He announced from Mar-a-Lago a $100 billion investment from SoftBank Group, a Japanese technology group, into U.S. projects over the next four years.
He spoke briefly about the investment alongside Softbank’s CEO Masayoshi Son, and then took questions from reporters for nearly an hour. When asked about ABC News’ recent settlement in the defamation lawsuit, he said he could see himself moving forward with defamation lawsuits to other people and platforms. Trump hinted at several other lawsuits he was considering, including ones against '60 Minutes', Pulitzer and the Iowa newspaper that printed J. Ann Selzer’s headline-grabbing poll in the days leading up to the election. Here is what to know about the poll: A highly anticipated election poll from J. Ann Selzer, the 'gold standard' pollster in Iowa, was printed in The Des Moines Register on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, showing Kamala Harris beating Donald Trump by 3 points in the Hawkeye State.The poll was an outlier, and Trump ultimately won the state by a 13-point margin, winning 56% of the vote to Harris’ 42.7%. Last month, Selzer announced she was ending her election polling. 'Polling is a science of estimation, and science has a way of periodically humbling the scientist,' she wrote. On Monday, Trump said he felt the back-and-forth of the polling printed in the newspaper was 'fraud' and 'election interference'. 'She's a very good pollster. She knows what she was doing and she didn't quit before. And we'll probably be filing a major lawsuit against them today or tomorrow,' Trump sai
