As the Democratic Party fights over whether Joe Biden should step aside before November’s presidential election, rival Donald Trump has declined to join the pile-on.
Biden’s halting debate last week against Trump fueled concerns among voters around the president’s age and ability to govern — fears that Republicans have often been eager to highlight.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean shared insights into why Trump wants Biden to stay in the Presidential race in Yahoo News.
NPR’s Michel Martin talks to ROKK Partner and Democratic strategist Kristen Hawn about Democrat George Latimer winning the most expensive House primary campaign in history. He had significant support from pro-Israel lobbyists. Listen to the full conversation.
GOP vice presidential candidates make their final pitch to Donald Trump. The party’s convention is less than three weeks away, which doesn’t give the former president much time to pick a running mate.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean spoke with NPR’s Jeongyoon Han about the top potential VP candidates for Trump. Listen to the full conversation.
It’s been more than 1,300 days since Joe Biden and Donald Trump last met in a televised debate, and a lot has happened since. Biden won the presidential election. Trump supporters stormed the Capitol to stop the counting of electoral votes. Trump was impeached and acquitted for a second time. Inflation went up, the Afghanistan withdrawal went poorly, and the COVID-19 pandemic eventually got under control. There have been indictments, criminal and civil trials, convictions—and that’s just Trump. Hunter Biden, too, has been convicted of three gun-related felonies and faces a trial on tax charges in the fall. Oh, and each party’s presumptive nominees have gotten four years older.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Rodell Mollineau spoke to The Dispatch about how Biden should navigate the upcoming presidential debate.
Last April, Donald Trump sat for a deposition in the offices of Letitia James. The New York attorney general had filed a civil fraud case against the former president, alleging he’d inflated the value of his assets to secure favorable loans and tax benefits. In seven hours of testimony, Trump held forth about everything from nuclear war to marble bathrooms.
Then, out of the blue, Trump explained what he believed had gotten him elected in 2016 – his brand.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean spoke with Adweek about Presidential brand power.
Nearly every Democrat running in a competitive 2024 Senate race this year has backed reforming or abolishing the chamber’s filibuster. But Republicans are knocking at the door of their own Senate majority next year — leaving some Democrats eyeing the 60-vote rule as a key tool to block an agenda anathema to them.
Democratic operatives and Capitol Hill hands told ABC News that candidates risk boxing themselves in on the filibuster amid liberal hand wringing that a possible GOP Senate majority next year would push restrictions on abortion, voting rights and more, with nothing other than the arcane rule stopping them if Republicans win a trifecta in Washington this November.
ROKK Senior Vice President John LaBombard spoke to ABC News about the protection of the filibuster coming out of the election in November.
ROKK Partner Kristen Hawn speaks on Hunter Biden’s conviction and Trump’s endorsement of Sam Brown in Nevada on Bloomberg’s Balance of Power.
Former President Trump took to the Democratic bastion of San Francisco last week to meet with a growing cohort of conservative technology executives, as the GOP appears to be making inroads in traditionally deep blue Silicon Valley.
At a fundraiser hosted Thursday night by venture capitalists David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, Trump raked in millions as he courted prominent figures in the tech and cryptocurrency industries.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Rodell Mollineau spoke with The Hill about why Trump appeals to Silicon Valley.
President Biden’s poor polling numbers have raised questions about the possibility of a blowout victory by former President Trump in November, even as he grapples with his own political challenges in the wake of a conviction in a New York hush money trial.
A blowout wouldn’t look like the landslide reelection of President Ronald Reagan over Democrat Walter Mondale in 1984. But it could mean Trump winning more Electoral College votes than expected by flipping most if not all of the states Biden won in 2020 — and even expanding the map by turning some unexpected states, like Minnesota or Virginia, red.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean spoke to The Hill about what the close polling numbers may mean for the election.
