Trump to Sue Des Moines Register and Ann Selzer Over Poll Showing Harris Leading by 3 Points; He Won Iowa by 13
Dec 16, 2024, 10:34 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to file a lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and pollster Ann Selzer, alleging 'election interference' and fraud. This legal action comes in response to a pre-election poll conducted by Selzer, which indicated that Vice President Kamala Harris was leading Trump by three points in Iowa just days before the election. Trump claimed that the poll was inaccurate, as he ultimately won Iowa by more than 13 percentage points. He referred to the poll's findings as 'fraud' and stated, 'We'll probably be filing a major lawsuit against them today or tomorrow.' The lawsuit is expected to be filed under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act, and Trump has expressed a broader intent to hold media outlets accountable for what he perceives as misleading reporting. The Des Moines Register and Selzer's polling firm are facing scrutiny for the poll's significant discrepancy from the actual election results.
