Speaking to Newsmax TV\u2019s \u201cSunday Agenda\u201d host Lidia Curanaj, Dershowitz revealed that the Journal also contacted him about a letter he supposedly wrote, one the outlet has been unable to produce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll probably be called as a witness in the case, because they also called me, and they said that you wrote him a letter with a mock cover of Vanity Fair,\u201d Dershowitz told Curanaj. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018I may have, I don\u2019t remember, this was 23 years ago. Just send me a copy of the letter with my signature and I\u2019ll tell you whether it\u2019s authentic or not,\u2019 and they said they couldn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so they published the story without authenticating it with me, and that will be an important point in trying to prove malice, so I suspect I will be a witness if this case ever goes to trial,\u201d Dershowitz continued (see video below).<\/p>\n<p>Trump secured a $15 million settlement from ABC in December 2024 after suing the network for defamation on March 19 over remarks made by \u201cThis Week\u201d host George Stephanopoulos during a heated March 10 segment featuring Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina. CBS also settled a $10 billion lawsuit filed by Trump over its editing of an October 2024 interview with then\u2013Vice President Kamala Harris, his opponent in the 2024 presidential election\u2014a move that sparked internal backlash at the network.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these legal wins, some of Trump\u2019s supporters have criticized both him and Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files, with Newsweek reporting that the president was \u201cratioed\u201d on Truth Social in response. Trump pushed back against the criticism in a Wednesday Truth Social post and issued a full-throated defense of Bondi in a detailed statement on July 12, the Daily Caller reported.<\/p>\n<p>In a Thursday night post, Trump announced he had asked Bondi to petition the courts for permission to release the Epstein grand jury transcripts. Bondi later confirmed in a post on X that the Department of Justice would move to unseal the documents on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The political landscape in the United States has seen a dramatic shift in recent months, as Democratic Party approval ratings continue to plummet while the Republican Party gains significant ground.<\/p>\n<p>With the 2026 midterm elections on the horizon, the latest political analysis suggests that Democrats may be headed for a major defeat, as voter registration trends and key issues signal strong momentum for the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s chief data analyst Harry Enten highlighted this growing trend in his recent appearance on \u201cCNN News Central,\u201d where he broke down the data and provided his insightful commentary on the current state of the political scene.<\/p>\n<p>According to Enten, the trajectory for Democrats appears bleak, with a series of missteps and political miscalculations leaving them vulnerable in key battleground states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, you\u2019ve got President Trump underwater, and Democrats are thinking, \u2018This is our time, we\u2019re going to soar in the midterms.\u2019 Let me tell you something,\u201d Enten said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis guarantees you nothing. Nothing at all.\u201d His remarks were aimed at the Democratic optimism, which has been fueled by public opinion polling showing a dip in Trump\u2019s approval ratings. However, as Enten explained, the current situation for Democrats is far from a guarantee of success.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Enten humorously referred to the Democrats as \u201cthe New Orleans Saints of political parties,\u201d likening their current predicament to the struggling football team.<\/p>\n<p>The Saints, who are currently 0-3 in the NFL season, are widely regarded as one of the weakest teams, with little hope of turning their fortunes around in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Enten suggested that the Democrats, despite their high hopes, are facing a significant uphill battle and have failed to capitalize on key issues that are likely to shape the outcome of the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major factors working against Democrats is the economy. Despite their best efforts, Democrats continue to struggle with public perceptions of their handling of economic issues.<\/p>\n<p>Enten pointed to a recent Washington Post\/Ipsos poll, which revealed that Americans trust Republicans more than Democrats on key issues related to the economy, immigration, and crime.<\/p>\n<p>According to the poll, Republicans hold a seven-point advantage over Democrats on the economy, a 13-point lead on immigration, and a staggering 22-point advantage on crime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is bad news for Democrats,\u201d Enten remarked, maintaining his football analogy. \u201cThe ball may be on the ground, but the Democrats haven\u2019t picked up the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that the Republican advantage on these issues has only grown since they regained control of the House of Representatives in 2022. While Democrats have made slight gains on the economy, they have suffered significant losses in other critical areas such as immigration and crime.<\/p>\n<p>Enten\u2019s commentary on immigration was particularly scathing. He pointed out that in 2022, Republicans had a three-point advantage on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>However, the latest polling shows that Republican support on immigration has increased by a whopping ten points, highlighting the growing frustration with the Democratic approach to border security and immigration reform. \u201cWhat are you doing, Democrats?\u201d Enten asked rhetorically. \u201cMy goodness gracious, this is not good for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WOW  CNN breaks down how MASSIVE of a l\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-H9x0t-U_8I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The situation on crime is no better for Democrats. Enten showed that Republicans have gained nearly double-digit support on crime, further solidifying their position as the party trusted to handle public safety.<\/p>\n<p>This is a critical issue for many Americans, particularly in battleground states where rising crime rates have become a major concern. The Republican Party\u2019s tough-on-crime stance has resonated with voters, while Democrats have struggled to respond effectively to public concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The data analyst then turned his attention to independent voters, showing that their views on the key issues closely mirrored the overall trends.<\/p>\n<p>Independent voters, who are often the swing vote in tight elections, appear to be moving away from the Democratic Party, further cementing the Republican Party\u2019s advantage as the 2026 elections approach.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, voter registration numbers have been trending in favor of the GOP, with significant gains reported in key battleground states. According to Just the News, Republicans have seen a surge in voter registrations, particularly since the tragic assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk just 13 days ago.<\/p>\n<p>The murder of Kirk, a prominent figure in the conservative movement, has had a profound impact on the political landscape, prompting a wave of Democrats to abandon their party and join the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>This shift in voter registration is described as a \u201chistoric wave\u201d of Democrats leaving the party and aligning themselves with the Republican cause. The motivations behind this shift are multifaceted, but one key factor is the public outcry over the celebration of Kirk\u2019s assassination by radical left-wing activists.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of radical Democrats have expressed support for the murder, with many abandoning their humanity in favor of political violence. This has led to a backlash, with many moderate and centrist Democrats distancing themselves from the extreme elements of their party and joining the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>Prominent left-wing figures such as former President Barack Obama, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel have only exacerbated the situation by making inflammatory comments and fueling the political violence.<\/p>\n<p>These figures have made incendiary remarks that have emboldened the radical elements of their base, leading to violent threats against conservatives and those who support them.<\/p>\n<p>The backlash against the left-wing celebration of Kirk\u2019s death has been swift, with many voters of goodwill coming together to condemn the violence and restore civility to the political discourse.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the GOP has seen a significant increase in voter registration, particularly in swing states that are expected to be pivotal in the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n<p>The situation in the Democratic Party has become increasingly untenable, with a growing divide between the radical left and more moderate factions.<\/p>\n<p>The party\u2019s extreme rhetoric and policies have alienated many traditional Democrats, who have found common cause with the GOP on key issues such as immigration, crime, and economic policy.<\/p>\n<p>These former Democrats, disillusioned by their party\u2019s embrace of radicalism and violence, are increasingly turning to the Republican Party as a more viable alternative.<\/p>\n<p>As the 2026 midterms draw closer, the GOP is poised to make significant gains, especially if the Democratic Party continues down its current path. The radical elements within the party have made the political fight about more than just policy\u2014it has become an existential struggle, one that has left many voters feeling alienated and disillusioned.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the growing concerns about the direction of the Democratic Party, many moderate Democrats are joining forces with Republicans in a bid to restore balance and common sense to American politics.<\/p>\n<p>This cross-party collaboration has the potential to reshape the political landscape in the coming years, with both parties working together to address the critical issues facing the country.<\/p>\n<p>If the current trends continue, Democrats may find themselves in the political wilderness for a generation or more, as their radical agenda alienates more and more voters.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP, on the other hand, is primed to capitalize on the Democratic meltdown, positioning themselves as the party of law and order, economic stability, and common-sense immigration reform.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the outcome of the 2026 midterms will depend on the ability of the parties to connect with voters and address the key issues that matter most to the American people.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands, the GOP has a significant advantage in voter registration, polling, and public perception, while the Democratic Party continues to struggle with its internal divisions and extremist elements. If the Democrats fail to course-correct in the coming months, they may be in for a resounding defeat come November 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prominent attorney and former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said Sunday he may be called as a witness in President Donald Trump\u2019s lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, stating he could&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19866,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
