MNI POLITICAL RISK - Big Trump Win Predicted In Iowa

US
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) yesterday unveiled a Continuing Resolution which extends government funding into March, keeps in place Johnson’s two-tiered funding strategy, and honours the FY2024 topline spending numbers announced by Congressional leaders last week.
  • Former President Donald Trump goes into today’s Iowa caucuses, the first voting of the 2024 Republican presidential nomination process, with a huge polling lead. With the broad assumption that Trump will win comfortably today, most focus will be on whether former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley or Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) can deliver results which point to a competitive primary.
  • A US fighter jet yesterday shot down an anti-ship cruise missile that was reportedly fired by the Yemen-based Houthi rebels at an American navy destroyer in the Red Sea.
  • Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) yesterday pledged he wouldn’t play ‘spoiler’ in the 2024 presidential election but refused to rule out a last-minute White House bid.
  • Poll of the Day: Trump’s polling lead over nearest challenger Nikki Haley has shrunk slightly but he remains positioned to pull off a strong win.
