Trump Drops Lawsuit Against Iowa Pollster J. Ann Selzer

  • President Donald Trump dropped his federal lawsuit against Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer, the Des Moines Register, and Gannett on June 30, 2025, in Des Moines, Iowa.
  • The lawsuit, filed in December 2024, accused the defendants of election interference and violating the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act due to a poll showing Kamala Harris leading Trump by about three points before the 2024 election.
  • Trump won Iowa by more than 13 points, contrasting the poll outcome, leading Selzer’s legal team to review next steps and continue defending her First Amendment rights with pro bono support from FIRE.
  • Robert Corn-Revere, Selzer's attorney, said, "We are aware of the Trump team's voluntary dismissal," and FIRE argued that penalizing political speech by recasting electorate as consumers conflicts with the First Amendment.
  • Trump's dismissal was without prejudice, and he plans to refile the lawsuit in Polk County District Court, while separate motions to dismiss by defendants label the claims as legally deficient and call Trump a sore winner.
