➤ Trump: You have to vote for me, even if you don’t like me
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called on voters who don’t like him to vote for him anyway. “You have no choice. You have to vote for me. Even if you don’t like me,” said the 78-year-old at a town hall hosted by the US broadcaster Fox News in the US state of Pennsylvania. Trump had previously discussed the topic of fracking with the arch-conservative talk show host Sean Hannity. Hannity said that natural gas extraction through fracking is the “lifeblood of the global economy.” Addressing Trump, Hannity said: “Correct me if I’m wrong.”

Anyone can take part in the surveys conducted by the opinion research institute Civey. However, only the answers of registered and verified users are included in the results. They must provide personal information such as age, place of residence and gender. Civey uses this information to weight a vote according to the occurrence of socioeconomic factors in the population as a whole. The company’s surveys are therefore representative. More information on the method can be found heremore for data protection here.

Republican Cheney wants to vote for Harris and positions herself clearly against Trump
Prominent US Republican Liz Cheney plans to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the presidential election in November. “As a conservative, as someone who believes in the Constitution and cares about it, I have thought carefully. And because of the danger posed by Donald Trump, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, I will vote for Kamala Harris,” the 58-year-old said at an event at Duke University in North Carolina, as seen on videos. Cheney has been a major critic of former Republican US President Trump for several years.
“I don’t think we have the luxury of putting other candidates’ names on the ballot, especially in the swing states,” said the Republican. In doing so, she made clear her position that simply not voting for Trump is not enough to prevent him. While most of the 50 states are firmly Republican or Democratic, a few are politically hotly contested. They are called swing states.
