Trump topped the straw poll on Saturday of declared and likely Republican 2024 presidential candidates, earning 62% of the vote.

In an appearance on MSNBC Sunday, Susan Del Percio, a political analyst for the network, said this was a poor result, considering the increasingly Trump-oriented nature of the annual gathering in recent years.

‘Decapitate Terfs’ signs at pro-trans rally attended by SNP politicians

The Equality Network, a leading pro-trans organization that backs the SNP gender reforms, said on Sunday that personal abuse and threats of violence were “not acceptable”.
