Attorneys for Iowa pollster Ann Selzer are arguing to dismiss President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against her. The lawsuit stems from a Des Moines Register poll published days before the 2024 election, which showed then-Vice President Kamala Harris leading by three percentage points in Iowa. Trump claims the poll was election interference, as he ended up winning Iowa by double digits.
Selzer’s attorneys say a hearing to dismiss the case is scheduled for Friday morning at the Polk County courthouse. They argue that the lawsuit should be dismissed, citing that the poll was a legitimate exercise of free speech and did not constitute election interference.
