Trump sues pollster and newspaper over Kamala Harris report showing 'false' poll lead
Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register over reporting done ahead of the 2024 election on one of Selzer's "false" polls, the suit says.
Summary
Donald Trump has sued pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register over a pre-election poll showing Kamala Harris leading in Iowa by three points, claiming it created a "false narrative of inevitability."
Trump, who won the state by 13 points, alleges election interference but provides no evidence of wrongdoing.
Legal experts expect the case to fail, citing First Amendment protections. Critics argue the lawsuit is intended to burden media outlets financially.
Selzer has retired, and Gannett, the newspaper’s parent company, has defended the poll's methodology as sound.
