Trump urges Iowa judge to keep 2024 political poll lawsuit alive
Donald Trump, having won a second term in 2024, is urging an Iowa judge to keep a lawsuit alive against the Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer over a pre-election poll. Trump claims the poll was fraudulently manipulated to harm his campaign, while the defendants argue it is protected by the First Amendment. The case hinges on whether political polling qualifies as commercial speech under Iowa law.
