☆ New Hampshire Primary: Wake-Up Call or Last Call?
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-19 | by ( Susan Milligan | ) www.usnews.com time to read: +7 min

Should Trump's lead hold, says Andrew Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire poll, Trump will become the first candidate – aside from sitting presidents – to win both the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. "We're so far past the days when voters nationally were really just waking up" to the campaign debates in the early weeks of a presidential election year, says Dante Scala, a University of New Hampshire professor and author of the book "Stormy Weather: The New Hampshire Primary and Presidential Politics." New Hampshire GOP voters, however, are a different breed of Republicans, Smith says, focusing more on fiscal conservatism and small government. Haley has 36% support and DeSantis 6% backing among primary voters. Trump seems to think so, too: He has focused much of his vitriol in the waning days of the New Hampshire campaign on Haley.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie speaks at a town hall event at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics in Manchester, New Hampshire, June 6, 2023. New charges brought against former President and Republican nominee front-runner Donald Trump likely solidify the case against him, according to fellow Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie. Trump was indicted on federal charges surrounding his purported effort to discount verified votes during the 2020 presidential election. The charges allege Trump willingly withheld classified documents from the federal government, as well as reportedly deleting video footage from his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida last year. "This was the withholding of confidential classified information from the government after 18 months of asking Donald Trump to return it voluntarily.

☆ Sen. Tim Scott pushes bill that would require disclosure of apps' country of origin

WASHINGTON — Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., is pushing for more transparency from social media applications amid privacy concerns about China-based apps like TikTok. App stores would be charged to warn users of the risks of downloading foreign applications and provide a filtering method by country of origin. Four out of 5 of the top most popular apps in March are of Chinese origin, according to The Wall Street Journal. "Requiring app stores to display an app's country of origin is a commonsense solution that can help them do just that." "The Know Your App Act would bring much-needed transparency to app stores, empowering Americans to safeguard their families from exploitation," he added.

Likely Republican presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina filed paperwork Friday to run for president in 2024, officially throwing his hat into a growing Republican primary lineup that former President Donald Trump has so far led. Scott is expected to announce his presidential campaign on Monday morning in North Charleston. Scott's brand of politics, marked by optimism and gestures toward stitching a divided nation back together, has been mostly absent from the Republican presidential conversation. "There's no question that special interests are celebrating as Tim Scott throws his hat into the 2024 race for the MAGA base."

"Donald Trump right now is a distraction for the Republican Party in trying to go forward. Yet the willingness of Republican party members to criticize Trump in conversations with Reuters is striking. She worked on his New Hampshire primary campaign, knocked on doors for him, urged anybody she met to vote for him. Despite signs of weariness with Trump, he will still be a formidable candidate in the New Hampshire primary, some party strategists said. His influence is still fairly significant," said Jim Merrill, a veteran New Hampshire Republican strategist.

“How dare he?” Laurie Jasper, a member of the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women, said. Salting the wound was the revelation that South Carolina hadn’t even asked to be first, and officials there contend they were as surprised as anyone to be handed the spot. In South Carolina, the majority of Democratic primary voters are African American. “North Carolina is more diverse than South Carolina. Democrats say they aren’t about to retreat behind South Carolina and anyway, they can’t.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said in a new interview that he won't provide testimony to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, drawing criticism from the panel's leaders, who called his decision "disappointing." In his answer, the former vice president criticized the makeup of the committee, which has two Republican lawmakers, Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. But his recent statements about the Select Committee are not accurate,” they added. Pence's former chief of staff, Marc Short, testified before the House committee in January. In recent remarks, the former vice president has taken aim at Trump while promoting his memoir, which was released his week.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said voters will "have better choices" for a presidential candidate than Donald Trump, who announced his third bid for the office on Tuesday night from his Mar-a-Lago resort. "I think we’ll have better choices in the future," Pence told ABC's David Muir. Pence's latest comments come after months of distancing himself from Trump over his actions on Jan. 6. Asked at a Georgetown University event in October if he would support Trump if he becomes the GOP nominee for president, Pence said, “Well, there might be somebody else I’d prefer more." He appeared to edge closer to confirming plans for a 2024 run during a New Hampshire Institute of Politics “Politics & Eggs” event in August.

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday appeared to hold back from supporting Donald Trump if the former president were to run again in 2024 and become the Republican nominee. “Well, there might be somebody else I’d prefer more,” Pence said at a Georgetown University event late Wednesday when asked if he would support Trump if he is the GOP nominee for president. “I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong,” Pence said in a speech to the Federalist Society, a conservative legal organization, in Orlando, Florida, earlier this year. Pence pushed back, reportedly telling Trump that he did not have the authority to carry out his request.

☆ Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan takes aim at Biden and 'performative' DeSantis amid speculation he's eyeing a 2024 run

Larry Hogan of Maryland criticized President Joe Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during a recent speech in New Hampshire, amid growing speculation that he'll seek the White House in 2024. The Florida governor is up for reelection in November and hasn't said he's seeking the White House, but polling shows he's been edging onto Trump as a GOP favorite. Neither the White House nor the Florida governor's office responded to a request for comment before this story's publication. Should Hogan run for president he would join what is becoming a crowded field of GOP potential contenders.
