Republican Rumble: Trump Dominates 2024 Republican Race

by theparliamentnews.com 12 December 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

In the ever-evolving landscape of American politics, the 2024 Republican presidential nominating contest is already making headlines. According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll, former US President Donald Trump is not just leading the pack; he’s doing so convincingly.

Trump’s Resilient Popularity

Despite facing a multitude of legal challenges, including his involvement in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot and other controversies, Trump remains the top choice for a staggering 61% of self-identified Republicans. This robust support signifies a broad base that sees Trump as the go-to candidate to challenge incumbent President Joe Biden.

The Rivals and Their Standing

In the shadow of Trump’s dominance, other contenders lag significantly behind. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, both respected figures in the party, are currently backed by 11% of Republicans each. Haley’s modest surge from 4% in September indicates some momentum, yet it’s clear she, along with others, is facing an uphill battle against the Trump juggernaut.

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is capturing attention with 5% support, showcasing a diverse field but still trailing far behind Trump. Meanwhile, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and the undecided camp round out the list at 2% and 8%, respectively.

Iowa’s Crucial Role

As the political spotlight intensifies, all eyes turn to Iowa, set to cast the first ballots on January 15, 2024. Trump’s stronghold in Iowa is notable, backed by evangelicals and first-time likely caucus-goers. The state’s unique caucus system, where voters gather to debate and rank candidates, offers a critical early indicator of support.

Insights into the Numbers

While the poll sheds light on the current preferences, it’s essential to note the fluidity of political landscapes. Trump’s enduring popularity speaks to a segment of the Republican base still rallying behind the former president. However, the coming months leading up to the 2024 elections may introduce shifts and surprises.

As the Republican contenders strive to differentiate themselves and connect with voters, the race unfolds as a dynamic narrative. Trump’s lead is undeniable, but political fortunes are fickle, and the true test lies ahead as candidates navigate the diverse terrain of state caucuses and primaries.

Conclusion: A Preview of the Political Arena

The 2024 Republican race, with Trump at the forefront, is a spectacle worth watching. The numbers tell a story of loyalty, shifting dynamics, and the inherent unpredictability of politics. As the nation awaits the unfolding drama, one thing is certain – the journey to the Republican nomination is poised to be a captivating ride.

Messi and Ronaldo, two of the greatest footballers of all time, have faced each other more than 30 times in their illustrious careers. They share an impressive tally of 13 Ballon d’Or awards between them, with Messi leading the race eight to five. The anticipation for this clash is heightened by the fact that they will be meeting on the field once again, this time in the heart of Saudi Arabia.

Messi had the option to play in the Saudi league after leaving Paris St Germain but chose to sign with Miami. His presence in the team already brought success as he led Inter Miami to victory in the Leagues Cup, causing ticket prices to soar.

Soccer enthusiasts and casual fans alike are eagerly awaiting these historic matches that promise to be a treat for the eyes and a celebration of football brilliance.

Jammu and Kashmir to Lose Special Status as Supreme Court Backs Abolition of Article 370.

by theparliamentnews.com 11 December 2023

written by theparliamentnews.com

The Supreme Court of India has endorsed the government’s decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution. The five-member bench, headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, declared that Article 370 was initially a temporary provision designed to facilitate the integration of Jammu and Kashmir into India.

Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasized that the constituent assembly of Jammu and Kashmir, formed solely to frame the Constitution, was not meant to be a permanent body. Upon merging with India, the assembly ceased to exist, and the special conditions for which Article 370 was introduced also ceased to exist. Despite this, the article continued due to the prevailing situation in the state.

The Supreme Court clarified that Jammu and Kashmir did not possess internal sovereignty distinct from other states in the country. The court underscored the concept of asymmetric federalism, pointing out that various states have special arrangements like Article 371A to 371J, granting them varying degrees of legislative and executive power.

The bench, consisting of Chief Justice Chandrachud, Justice BR Gavai, Justice Surya Kant, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, and Justice Sanjiv Khanna, delivered three separate judgments supporting the scrapping of Article 370.

Article 370 granted Jammu and Kashmir its own Constitution and decision-making authority on all matters except defense, communications, and foreign affairs. The removal of this article terminated the special status of the state. Additionally, the court mentioned that it did not find it necessary to assess the validity of the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into a Union Territory, as it was considered a temporary arrangement until the completion of elections and the restoration of statehood.

The Supreme Court’s decision also marks the end of Article 35A, which granted the erstwhile state the power to define its permanent residents and provide them with special rights, including government jobs and property ownership.

As a result of this historic ruling, Jammu and Kashmir is expected to be brought on par with other states, and the court has called for elections in the region by September 30, 2024. This verdict not only shapes the future of Jammu and Kashmir but also carries broader implications for the federal structure of the country.

Recent Developments Boost Adani’s Fortunes:

Recent positive developments, including Adani’s green energy unit securing a $1.4 billion loan and favorable reports from Bloomberg News, further fueled the rally. The sentiments of Adani’s investors were lifted by the Supreme Court’s remark that media reports against the group weren’t always “gospel truth.”

About Rajiv Jain:
