Poll shows Trump's VP pick not to influence majority of US voters
As per the poll, 80% of respondents would not change their votes depending on who Trump selects as his running mate.
A Rasmussen Reports poll issued Wednesday has revealed that former US President Donald Trump's choice for vice president in the 2024 election will have no impact on the great majority of voters in the United States.
As per the poll, 80% of respondents would not change their votes depending on who Trump selects as his running mate. The choice would only influence 13% of the respondents' votes.
Although Trump has not made an announcement yet, potential nominees include US Senators J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio, US Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
Trump recently asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and annul his guilty verdict in the hush money trial that has made him the first former US president to be a convicted felon.
A New York jury found Trump guilty of falsifying documents to conceal a payment made to silence an adult actress, Stormy Daniels, before the 2016 election.
Trump posted: "The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention,” adding, “A Radical Left Soros backed D.A., who ran on a platform of ‘I will get Trump,’ reporting to an ‘Acting’ Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED, will make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation?"
A recent ABC/Ipsos poll showed that 50% of voters believed the verdict was correct, 27% believed it was wrong, and 49% thought he should end his campaign.
Biden advisors urge him to avoid talking about himself 'too much': CNN
President Joe Biden's campaign advisors are encouraging him to steer clear of discussing his own policy record, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing sources.
Instead, they want him to concentrate on mounting an offensive against former President Donald Trump during this week's inaugural presidential debate.
The broadcaster is set to host the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump on Thursday at 9 pm Eastern Time. The event will run for 90 minutes.
According to sources briefed by CNN, advisors are apprehensive that Biden's attempts to showcase his own policy accomplishments are failing to strike a chord with voters.
Biden's advisors are recommending that the president adopt an aggressive stance by confronting Trump on economic matters, particularly his alleged close relationships with corporate America and the potentially inflationary impact of his policy proposals, as reported.
This year's elections in the US promise to be the most intense as the country is facing an unprecedented wave of political violence.
