TRUMP TO PARDON CAPITOL RIOTERS IF HE WINS IN 2024

Sun 30 January 2022:

Former US President Donald Trump has stated that if he runs for president in 2024 and wins, he will pardon rioters charged with a violent assault on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

“If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly, we will treat them fairly, and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly,” Trump said at a Saturday rally in Texas.

The ex-president, however, did not elaborate again on whether he plans to join the presidential race.

A group of Trump supporters marched into the US Capitol more than a year ago to protest the certification of the 2020 presidential election results from numerous US states that Trump alleged were rigged. For criminal charges related to the incident, US authorities have arrested more than 725 people in nearly all 50 states.

President Joe Biden is leading former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in two hypothetical, head-to-head match-ups for the 2024 presidential election, according to a new poll.

The survey, conducted by Marquette Law School, found that 43 percent of adults nationwide would support Biden if the 2024 presidential election were held today, while 33 percent would vote for Trump in a one-on-one match-up.

Sixteen percent said they would choose a different candidate, while 6 percent said they would not vote.

In a hypothetical race against DeSantis, 41 percent of adults nationwide said they would throw their support behind Biden, while 33 percent would support DeSantis.

Biden in December said he plans to run for reelection “if I’m in good health.”

A Wednesday poll from Politico and Morning Consult found that 45 percent of registered voters would support Biden if the election were held today, and 44 percent would support Trump, which would make for a tight rematch. Eleven percent said they would not vote.
