Trump Drops Lawsuit Against Iowa Pollster J. Ann Selzer
- President Donald Trump dropped his federal lawsuit on June 30, 2025, against Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer, the Des Moines Register, and Gannett.
- Trump filed the original suit in December 2024, accusing the defendants of election interference based on a poll showing Kamala Harris leading by about three points days before the election.
- The disputed Iowa poll showed Harris ahead 47%-44% three days before the 2024 election, while Trump won Iowa handily by more than 13 points on election day.
- Selzer and the Des Moines Register denied wrongdoing, defended their polling accuracy, and their legal team said they would continue to protect Selzer's First Amendment rights, noting no settlement exists.
- Trump plans to refile the case in Polk County District Court, suggesting ongoing legal action despite voluntarily dismissing the federal suit without prejudice.
