Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Former President Donald Trump leads the Republican presidential candidates with a 55-point advantage in the latest Morning Consult poll. Despite legal challenges, his support among GOP voters remains strong at 66%. Nikki Haley, tied for second with Ron DeSantis, has seen a decline in net favorability. The upcoming fifth Republican primary debate will feature only DeSantis and Haley, as Trump opts for a town hall on Fox News. Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns CNN, will air the debate.
