Trump only needed ten minutes to demonstrate why his mounting criminal accusations are not yet loosening his hold on the Republican presidential nomination and why his rivals will find it so difficult to defeat him.

An American Idol-style audition in Iowa, the first-in-the-nation caucus state, was the first showcase including all poll-leading GOP candidates on the same stage and was overshadowed by the ex-president’s escalating legal risk on Friday.

However, his closest challengers refrained from bringing up a legal tangle that might be a negative in the general election if Trump is nominated out of concern about upsetting his still sizable grassroots support.

The room’s stampeding elephants were faced by minor contenders who had far less to lose. – but were met with a chorus of boos or complete silence.

Even so, Trump was unable to escape the fact that his campaign appears to be more about him regaining the president and erasing his criminal past than it is about implementing an agenda that would likely be even more radical and disruptive than it was during his first term.

To the song “Only in America” by Brooks & Dunn, each contender entered the room.

The words, however, echoed Trump’s uncertain future when he arrived: “One kid dreams of fame and money. One child assists with the rent.

Trump shows in Iowa, he still rules the GOP: One might wind up in jail or prison. One might even win the presidency.

Trump was making his first major public appearance since special counsel Jack Smith slapped him with new charges Thursday over his hoarding of classified documents at his Florida home after leaving office.

However, Trump mainly disregarded a flurry of litigation that could have forced him to divide his time between the courtroom and the campaign trail next year.

Trump was the only one of the 13 Republican candidates to receive a standing ovation before he even spoke. He did criticize the Biden administration for using justice as a political tool, in his opinion.

If I wasn’t running, no one would be after me. Trump has made an effort to make his precarious position the central topic of his campaign by portraying himself as the victim of political persecution.

Or if I was losing badly, no one would be pursuing me, he argued.

The court said they can approach SC against any illegal move.

A vacation bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice J B Pardiwala also directed the Maharashtra government to safeguard the life, liberty, and property of 39 rebel Shiv Sena MLAs and their families.

Issuing notices to the Deputy Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, the Supreme Court directed him to keep on record the affidavit of no-confidence motion notices given by the rebel MLAs.

The top court also took on record the statement of the counsel appearing for the Maharashtra government that adequate steps have been taken to protect the life and property of the rebel MLAs.

The next hearing of the case will be on July 11.

Rivals BJP and Congress are both going to be part of the same ruling alliance.

All five Congress MLAs in Meghalaya on Tuesday expressed their willingness to join the BJP-backed National People’s Party (NPP)-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government.

Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Majel Amparin Lyngdoh along with her MLAs met Chief Minister Conrad Sangma at the Secretariat and handed over letters of support to him.

“We would like to strengthen you and MDA by joining the government to take the state forward and for the benefit of the people,” said the letter. The letter has the signatures of all the five MLAs.

Lyngdoh said that he has nothing to do with the BJP. They do not even care who is included in the government and who is not.

“They don’t know whether the BJP is in alliance or not. We have not asked the government who its allies are. Congress MLAs have decided to support the government for the development of Meghalaya.

He did not directly respond to a question whether he had taken permission from the party high command before announcing his support to the MDA government.

He said that we are five MLAs and are capable of taking decisions in the interest of the state. Lyngdoh said that they are all in Congress.
