Donald Trump has dropped his federal lawsuit against famed Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer, the Des Moines Register and the newspaper’s publisher Gannett, over Selzer’s survey that found Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris with a surprising lead over Trump in the Hawkeye State during the final days of the 2024 election.
The president’s complaint accused the Register of “brazen election interference” and violations of consumer protections and was filed just days after ABC News reached a $15 million settlement with Trump in his defamation suit over comments made by anchor George Stephanopoulos.
