Trump planning to sue Des Moines Register over Ann Selzer's Iowa election poll showing Harris lead

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Monday that he plans to sue the Des Moines Register over Ann Selzer's Iowa election poll in the homestretch of the 2024 election. 

Trump described the poll as "election interference" during a news conference at Mar-a-Lago.

Selzer's final poll showed Vice President Kamala Harris up by 3 points. Trump ultimately won the state with 56% of the vote compared to 42.7% for Harris.

In a recent interview, Selzer rejected the criticism of her poll.

"Let's deal with the allegations because I am mystified about what the motivation anybody thinks I had and would act on in such a public poll. I don't understand it. And the allegations I take very seriously," Selzer said. "They're saying that this was election interference, which is a crime. So, the idea that I intentionally set up to deliver this response, when I've never done that before, I've had plenty of opportunities to do it, it's not my ethic."
