President-elect Donald Trump sued the Des Moines Register and a pollster on Dec. 16 for publishing a poll ahead of the 2024 election that showed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Trump in Iowa.
The poll, conducted by the Register and a polling partner, found that 47 percent of respondents chose Harris, compared with 44 percent for Trump. The poll drew widespread attention because Iowa typically chooses Republicans, and other polls done in the state had Trump ahead.
