Dean Phillips, a long-shot candidate challenging President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, is struggling to be heard in a race dominated by the Biden campaign and Democratic Party officials.

The GOP hopes the approach will convince enough moderate voters that the democrats are "extremists" on abortion, while Democrats - noting the records and comments of individual legislative candidates - say it's just another step toward a total ban in the state. Virginia Delegate Danica Roem has a simple campaign mantra as she runs for Senate as a Democrat next month: "Fixing roads and feeding kids." He needs only to have the GOP flip two seats in the 40-member state Senate and hang onto control of the 100-member House of Delegates - where Republicans have a 50-46 advantage, with four vacancies - to achieve his goal.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has dropped out of the 2024 Republican presidential primary, leaving Donald Trump as the likely nominee. However, Haley has challenged Trump to earn her vote and the votes of those who did not support him. Exit polling from Super Tuesday shows that a significant number of Haley's anti-Trump voters are resolved to never vote for him again. Trump has rejected the idea of trying to bring these voters into his fold, instead relying on his base of supporters. Experts suggest that Trump's approach of name-calling and division may not be successful in the 2024 election, especially if he cannot attract new and low-propensity voters to make up for the loss of Haley supporters. Trump's legal challenges and criminal charges also pose challenges for his campaign. In contrast, President Joe Biden has expressed a willingness to welcome Haley voters into his campaign. With the polls expected to be close, Trump does not have much room for error. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the diminishing significance of the New Hampshire primary in the 2024 presidential election. Traditionally, New Hampshire has been an important early state in the nominating process, but this year it appears to be one of the final states in the process. The front-runners, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, are not interested in debating challengers who are far behind in the polls, and the incumbent president is not even on the ballot. Trump is currently leading in the polls against Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, and a lackluster showing in New Hampshire could push DeSantis out of the race.

While many Democrats and some Republicans do not want Trump to be president again, there are differing opinions on whether he should be allowed to run.

Former President Donald Trump has appealed to the Supreme Court to reverse a decision by Colorado's high court that banned him from the presidential primary ballot for participating in an insurrection. The appeal argues that the Colorado court had no jurisdiction in the matter and that keeping Trump off the ballot would deprive voters of their right to choose their own leaders. The appeal does not ask the high court to determine whether Trump participated in the insurrection, but rather focuses on procedural and constitutional challenges to the Colorado Supreme Court ruling. The Supreme Court is expected to consider the appeal, which could have nationwide implications for presidential eligibility. [Extracted from the article]
