been previewing the ways in which donald trump s political and legal calendars have been on a collision course. and now, it s about to actually happen. over the next couple of weeks, as the people of iowa and new hampshire cast their very first votes in the 2024 election, trump plans to be in court a lot. on tuesday, we will hear oral arguments in a d.c. federal appeals court over trump s claim of presidential immunity, which trump plans to attend in person. two days later, he s also set to attend closing arguments in his civil fraud trial in new york. then it s back to politics briefly for the iowa caucus on january 15th. the day after that, trump is set to go on trial in a second civil defamation case filed by e. jean carroll. after the jury in the first case found trump liable for sexual abuse. and according to the new york times, trump wants to attend that trial as well.
insult and an affront to the families of actual hostages still being held by hamas in gaza right now. look, something struck me yesterday. it was sort of the dog that didn t bark. the republicans released hundreds and hundreds of hours of security tape from a january 6th. they had months to examine it. they haven t come up with a single shot which purports to capture an antifa fighter or an fbi agent inciting the insurrection, nothing, yet they are still out there spreading propaganda and disinformation about how it was really antifa and fbi agents which, of course, would make it strange to argue that all of these people should be released and trump is going to pardon them. why would he want to pardon all
can run for president because they are too young. they will do their essential job by reading the text of the constitution, understanding what the original purposes and meaning our, and implementing it. donald trump inoperative it in the direction. on the contrary, he was the ringleader and the mastermind of the whole saying. it s so hard to get into trump s mind. i don t try to do it too often. it seems really clear that he has been trying to pressure the court in some ways. what he said in the wake of the news, i hope we get fair treatment. if we don t, our country is in big trouble. do you hear that as attempts to intimidate or pressure justices? how should we be hearing that? yeah, you can already here in the right-wing media about how justice kavanaugh owes him
now just eight days away from the iowa caucuses. and nikki haley s path to the nomination is still incredibly narrow. but, donald trump seems a little bit distressed, a little stressed out about her uptick in the polls. he s out with his first ad attacking her in new hampshire, and he repeatedly went after her this weekend in iowa. and that is indicative of the sort of asymmetrical fight in this republican primary. while trump is able to go after his opponents as hard as he wants, when other candidates go after him, they risk turning off tons of primary voters who have a lot of sympathy for him. just ask chris christie. and a listen to this voter in a recent focus group, talking about how haley spoke out against trump after january 6t i was extremely disappointed in her running forcor and politica cover when,u know, the whole january 6th thing happened. i was extremely disappointed
out of time, you did talk to some two time trump voters that now seem to be maybe voting for biden, or open to it. he s been doubling down on friday, and of course tomorrow, again on the democracy argument. playing up kind of the contrast of january 6th. is that animating enough for these voters? is that something in your view the biden team should be continuing to press and doubled down on? along with some other issues, like abortion, i talk to trump voters who are open to supporting biden, or at least not voting for trump. that s really the key. one of the main things where they said never again will i vote for this guy was january 6th. there were a lot of voters in the republican party who held their nose and voted for trump twice because the republicans, but after january 6th, they said never again. so i think that it is good to talk about january 6th and what trump did then, because right now biden is very top of mind for voters. these swing voters, they re not
