Is There a Second Act in the Works?
A majority of Americans still believe that the January 6, 2021 insurrection is fraught with peril for Trump.
Even so…
“Democrats and independents still hold starkly negative views of Jan. 6, its participants and Trump’s role in stoking the riot. Majorities of Americans overall still believe now-President Joe Biden was elected legitimately, that Trump is guilty of trying to steal the election and that the federal criminal charges in Washington against Trump are appropriate.”
“Even as surveys generally show Trump running even with the unpopular Biden or leading him narrowly in the horse race, Trump’s refusal to concede the last election and his actions leading up to the Capitol riot are significant liabilities for his candidacy.”
“And it’s not just a poll-based hypothetical that direct ties to Jan. 6 or broader denial of the 2020 election results are a millstone for Trump and his aligned candidates. Only 14 months ago, voters in the midterms rejected the majority of 2020 election deniers — especially in battleground states — despite a political environment and generic ballot that otherwise favored Republicans.”

Trump Did Not Sign Illinois Candidate Loyalty Oath
I didn’t know anything about this candidate's pledge in Illinois until tonight.
“Donald Trump didn’t submit a state loyalty oath that candidates in Illinois have been signing for more than a half century that asserts they won’t “advocate the overthrow of the government” — a pledge that holds new resonance on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6th insurrection,” WBEZ reports.
“That’s a departure his presidential campaign is not explaining after Trump signed and submitted the document to Illinois election authorities for both the 2016 and 2020 election cycles, when he ran against Democrats Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden, respectively.”
