Iowa judge dismisses Trump lawsuit against pollster and Des Moines Register

An Iowa judge dismissed President Trump’s lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register, removing a legal challenge tied to polling published days before the 2024 general election.

The Hill reported on Sept. 24, 2026, that Iowa District Court Judge Scott J. Beattie rejected Trump’s claims in a written ruling.

The Hill’s report said the contested poll had shown former Vice President Kamala Harris leading. The suit had targeted the poll and the Register for numbers published shortly before the 2024 election, according to The Hill.
