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.
Former President Trump is taking concrete steps to deprive Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of oxygen as they compete for a portion of the same voters.
Trump is going to the Libertarian Party national convention this month and criticized Kennedy, who is running as an independent but who has ties to the party, as “not a serious candidate.” Republicans also pounced on the “unhinged” Kennedy last week for saying “red state people are more likely to murder you.”
ROKK Partner Kristen Hawn spoke to The Hill about the risk Robert F. Kennedy poses to former President Trump in the November election.
The guilty verdict rendered against former President Trump is bringing moderate Republicans and longtime Trump skeptics to his side in a way that Trump’s campaign has failed to do for months.
Longtime Trump critics, including Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and moderate Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), among others, are rallying to Trump’s defense after the verdict — and other Trump-leery Republicans including Nikki Haley are expected to do so as well.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean spoke to The Hill about the Trump verdict and Republicans who are rallying behind him as they believe there is judicial overreach.
Donald Trump made history on Thursday as the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime. But his ultimate judgment won’t come until November when he faces America’s voters, who have decidedly mixed feelings about voting for a felon.
Prior to the trial, surveys conducted by Reuters/Ipsos and other outlets showed that some Republican and independent voters would consider refusing to vote for Trump, a Republican, if he were convicted of a felony.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Rodell Mollineau spoke to Reuters about how Biden should talk about the Trump trial if he wants to win over voters.
Democrats locked in competitive Senate races are leaning into their party’s legislative accomplishments in ads touting investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, as well as lowering the cost of some prescription drugs, such as insulin.
The senators, whose votes sent the bills to the White House, are front and center. But one name is often missing: President Joe Biden, who signed the bills into law.
ROKK Co-Founder and Republican strategist Ron Bonjean spoke to CNN about whether Senate Democrats in swing states are mentioning Biden on the campaign trail.
ROKK Partner Kristen Hawn responds to the recent Trump convictions, a verdict that could shape the political landscape ahead of the elections in five months on Bloomberg’s Balance of Power.
Former President Trump and the GOP are the favorites to win the races for the White House and for both chambers of Congress a little more than five months before Election Day, according to a forecast model released Wednesday by Decision Desk HQ and The Hill.
The model gives Trump a 58 percent chance of winning the presidency, and shows him with slight leads in most of the key swing states in the presidential race.
ROKK Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean spoke to The Hill on what could shift these predictions.
