Overview

• Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to intervene on his behalf after the states of Colorado and Maine moved to disqualify him as a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
• Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has launched a new advertisement targeting independent voters in New Hampshire, seemingly intended to contrast himself with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
• Christie's campaign has staked on a strong showing in New Hampshire, where his campaign has focused on a direct-to-camera message of truth-telling.
• Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley needs to perform well in the upcoming Iowa caucuses to establish herself as the only viable alternative to Trump.
• Haley has so far avoided directly attacking Trump, but may need to pivot to doing so in order to commandeer media coverage and remind Republican primary voters that Trump’s nomination is not inevitable.
