[17th (Reuters)] - According to the latest poll conducted by the Washington Post/Mammoth University, former United Nations Ambassador Haley is the most popular state in the eastern state of New Hampshire, which is an early stage of the Republican primary election for the 2024 US presidential election.

Additionally, among voters who do not currently support Trump, 56% say Haley is their first or second choice, raising the possibility that Haley will capture the support of New Hampshire's moderate voters in the future. be.
Former New Jersey Governor Christie (11%) came in third, followed by businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (8%). Florida Governor DeSantis, who had been seen as Trump's biggest rival, fell behind in fifth place (7%).

A Denver District Court judge has issued a ruling that former President Donald Trump can appear on the Colorado primary ballot. The decision came down just before 5 p.m. Friday. At issue was whether he was barred from the ballot by a provision of the U.S. Constitution that forbids those who "engaged in insurrection" from holding office.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold released this statement shortly after the ruling, "The Court determined that Donald Trump is eligible to be placed on the Colorado ballot in the March Presidential Primary. This decision may be appealed. As Secretary of State, I will always ensure that every voter can make their voice heard in free and fair elections."
Advocates this year have been trying to remove Trump from the ballot in Colorado and other states under Section Three of the 14th Amendment, which bars from office those who swore an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and then "engaged in insurrection" against it. The measure has only been used a handful of times since the period after the Civil War.
"At the end of the day Colorado voters are going to be able to choose who they want for President and that's what matters," said Trump attorney and former secretary of state Scott Gessler.
In her decision, Wallace said she found that Trump did in fact "engage in insurrection" on Jan. 6 and rejected his attorneys' arguments that he was simply engaging in free speech. Normally, that would be enough to disqualify him under Section 3, but she said she couldn't do so for a presidential candidate.
"I'm surprised at the way the order was structured. Usually what will happen is courts will decide first whether or not the law applies even before we go forward to a trial. In this instance we have a trail and then she ruled that the law didn't apply," said Gessler.
Section 3 does not specifically refer to the presidency, as it does members of the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives. Instead, the clause refers to "elector of President and Vice President," along with civil and military offices.
"Part of the Court's decision is its reluctance to embrace an interpretation which would disqualify a presidential candidate without a clear, unmistakable indication that such is the intent of Section Three," the judge wrote.
"It sets up an interesting situation if you think about it," said Norm Provizer a professor emeritus of political science at Metropolitan State University of Denver who has taught Constitutional law for decades. "Was he involved in the insurrection? Yes. Except the President wasn't meant to be covered," he summarized.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A district court in the U.S. state of Colorado has ruled that voters in the state will vote against former President Donald Trump in next year's presidential election due to his involvement in the January 2021 "insurrection" at the U.S. Capitol. Trump won the lawsuit, rejecting the plaintiff's lawsuit to ban him from running for office.
The plaintiffs had filed their lawsuit under the U.S. Constitution's Amendment, but the district court ruled that Trump's presidential title did not qualify him as an "officer of the United States," which could disqualify him from running for office.
Mr. Trump has had lawsuits filed against him in other states over his eligibility to run for office, and Colorado has attracted attention because it is the first time the case will be heard.
Trump's spokesperson said on the 17th that he had once again put to rest an un-American election challenge.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump is in "excellent health" and will continue to lead a healthy and active life for many years to come. The results of the diagnosis by his personal physician Bruce Aronwald were published on the 20th on True Social, a social networking service founded by Trump.
Mr. Trump is currently 77 years old. It is highly likely that he will face off against President Biden, who celebrated his 81st birthday on this day, in next year's presidential election, and the age issue between the two men has become a major focus.
However, Aronwald wrote, ''Mr. Trump has lost weight, continues to exercise every day, and maintains a rigorous schedule. His physical exam (results) are within the normal range, and his cognitive performance tests have been outstanding.''

"We need to find someone who can win in 2024," Vander Plaats said in an interview with Fox News, adding that he doesn't think Trump can win the general election.
He also expressed the view that if DeSantis wins in Iowa, the situation in the nomination race will change.
