GOP Presidential Race Heats Up: Sununu Urges Christie to Support Haley, Trump Faces Ballot Removal

As the 2024 elections approach, the political implications of the January 6 attack deepen partisan divides, while the Iowa GOP caucuses see a flurry of campaigning from Republican candidates.

  • Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu has urged Chris Christie to drop out of the GOP presidential nomination race and support Nikki Haley in order to defeat Donald Trump. Sununu, who endorsed Haley last month, argues that Christie's numbers are falling and he has hit his limit in his second run for the White House.
  • The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump must be removed from the 2024 ballot due to his failed effort to overturn the 2020 election and his incitement of the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. This issue is now heading to the US Supreme Court.
  • The partisan divide on the political implications of the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is deepening ahead of the 2024 elections. While Republicans are becoming more sympathetic to the protesters and Trump, Democrats argue that the attack is a winning political argument and a key reason for their candidacy.
  • With less than two weeks until the Iowa GOP caucuses, polls show Trump has a strong hold on the state. However, several other GOP candidates are campaigning in Iowa to pitch their plan as an alternative to Trump. These include Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
