Democrats believe former President Donald Trump, who was indicted on Tuesday for his alleged role in paying hush money to a porn actress ahead of the 2016 election, is a threat to democracy and shouldn’t return to the White House. Many of them also think he is the best possible opponent for President Biden in 2024. With protesters and news media assembled in the streets, Mr. Trump reported to a Manhattan courthouse, where he pleaded not guilty to 34 counts related to the hush money and the alleged coverup. On his way to the proceedings, he posted on his social-media site: “Seems so SURREAL—WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Can’t believe this is happening in America.”
Former President Donald Trump appearing Saturday before the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Md. Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dug in this weekend for what is expected to be a bitter and personal race between the two for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Mr. Trump revved up supporters Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington—an event Mr. DeSantis skipped—while the governor appeared before Republican groups in Texas and has a speech Sunday afternoon at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. The two will then descend on Iowa, which holds the first GOP nominating contest.
Rifts in the GOP between those who support Donald Trump’s false 2020 election fraud claims and those who want the party to move on from the former president have resurfaced in party leadership races in key states, with each side blaming the other for disappointing midterm results. In Arizona, the state Republican party—which for years has been at odds with former GOP Gov. Doug Ducey and more establishment Republicans—on Saturday elected Jeff DeWit as party chairman.
Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly prevailed in a closely fought re-election bid against Republican challenger Blake Masters, according to the Associated Press, boosting Democrats’ prospects of maintaining their Senate majority. Mr. Kelly’s victory, which the AP called Friday night, means that Democrats need to win one of two outstanding Senate races to keep their majority, while Republicans must win both races to take control of the chamber.
Candidates in key battlegrounds were set to make their last pitches to undecided voters in the final hours before Election Day, as GOP prospects continued to brighten. Republicans are seen by nonpartisan analysts as the favorites to take the House majority Tuesday, with surveys showing key voting blocs trending away from Democrats as many voters say their top concerns are inflation and economic uncertainty. Senate control remains a tossup, but polls show GOP candidates in states such as Arizona, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania have made gains in the final weeks. Democrats were also working to hold on to governors’ offices in Oregon and New York, states that were once seen as safely Democratic but have been competitive this year.
