this time, the implementation of the general election policies of 1995 was promulgated in the days when the representatives were busy amending the parliament election law. it was reported that the commission had suggested that this time should be shortened and the general policies reduced to two months . and it can be since this branch is known to interfere in the field of election in this position, god forbid, and the traces of this subject reached the guardian council, to minimize the ban on the presence of working volunteers, general policies seek to reduce it if this issue of resignation the task should not be assigned and i will correct it. well, this section of policies seems to have not been considered well, at least the time limit has increased in size and the implementation situation is also facing problems. is the task of fully implementing the general policies of the inheritance elections for the representatives of the next term? there are some cases. that in all policies the election has come and it is not in this plan, or maybe it was not approved. ibrahim asadi bidemeshki

policies that have been pending for more than 6 years, the general election policies seem to be 56 yearseral policies of the 1995 elections were announced during the days when the representatives are working on amending the parliament election law, which was a paragraph of the report that the commission suggested, we reduced this time and reduced the general policies from 6 months to two months. change let's give the person in charge of implementing the government that prince metro has until two months before respecting nature. we can expect this responsibility from this branch, which god forbid interferes in the field of elections and the ranks of this subject to the guardian council. the result of minimizing the ban on the presence of volunteers working in general policies will be reduced following these bans. if this discussion of resignation is not assigned and corrected, well, this section of policies seems to have not been considered well , at least in terms of the time limit, the volume has increased . are we facing problems in the implementation situation? the full task of implem

they have an incredible effect on the general election. , and where trump -- where democrats have been able to highlight the extremism of the maga movement and the worst aspects of trumpism in the last three elections, democrats have won. where republicans have been able to put that aside like in 2021 with glen youngkin in virginia or with some of the issues surrounding crime in new york, republicans have been successful, so i think that's the fundamental dynamic we're looking at, and this is going to be the first of a series of issues that play into that. >> and it comes at a moment, though, when trump is trying to make a little bit more of a general election or main stream type of appeal. he's sitting for a town hall tonight, a controversial town hall. republicans you heard from senator cornyn there if they want to win, the goal is to simply win in november 2024, trump would seem to be so deeply wounded and yet we're not seeing any momentum. are you coalescing around any other alternative? >> no. if anything ever since the alvin bragg ind

it might be triggered by a general election victory. by victory in the courts over the resistance ofreferendum. whatever happened, it would come soon. now what we're hearing from the leader of the snp at westminster is if there's a hung parliament after the next general election, if the labour party are the largest party in that parliament and if they agree, they'll ask for the power to hold an independence referendum. when would it be? who knows? thanks for watching. there is a lot of fine weather to come across the uk in the week ahead — our good old friend high pressure building up from the azores. some areas may catch a few showers but those will be in the minority. in the sunshine, many will end up feeling rather warmer, actually, particularly in contrast to recent days. here is the high pressure stretching up from the azores. you can see it wobbles about day on day, and those changes in wind direction will have subtle effects on how the weather plays out. low pressure to the north occasionally trailing its weather fronts south, giving the increased chance of a shower in one 01’

policies for more than 6 years, the words of the general election commissions seem to be the researchers pointed out that these policies have been promulgated for 56 years now . the law has not been set. this time, the general policies of the 1995 elections were promulgated in the days when the representatives are working on amending the parliament election law, which was a paragraph of this report that the commission had proposed this time. you did a little according to the general policies, we have reduced it to two months, which government executive that prince metro has will remain in his responsibility for two months before registration. he did not intervene in the field of selection and the traces of this subject reached the guardian council, minimizing the ban on the participation of working volunteers , general policies are also seeking to reduce if this issue of resignation is not assigned and corrected, this policy clause seems it seems that the minimum deadline has not been well considered it has increased in size and the implementation situation is also facing problems. is it

we know how far away we are from election day 2024, the general election, but primary seasonis generaleason is really upon us. these guys are alljumping in. and notjust guys. we have nikki haley, who was the first official to declare against trumpet. so what we are seeing now is what i call the revenge of the moderates, people who think they are more palatable than donald trump and want to try their hand at this. asa hutchinson was somebody very critical of trump, now you are seeing senator tim scott, who was also critical of trump at times but also looked like he was with him in the senate. 0ne was with him in the senate. one thing that stands out to me about tim scott, which has been made of his announcement and how it was far better than florida governor ron desantis', is that he has a challenge. everybody in this gop primary has a challenge of ringing in new voters under the republican banner. we have heard so much made of this, in teachers to class, the pandit class, about how there is this all—important independent voter investment states to get, that is going to be the key demog

want to win the general election. donald trump probably has a ceiling in the primary as well, but with a fractured field, it's in his favor. in a general election, a candidate like desantis or any of the other republicans we have, in my view, are more favorable general election candidates. but i think desantis is doing the smart thing. he kept his powder dry before getting in the race. now he is in. the powder is in the gun, and he is firing shots at trump. it would be political malpractice not to fully attack donald trump. you have to go through him to get to president biden. and, look, he is smart by, in the primary, showing that he is just as conservative or republican or right as donald trump or maybe even more to the right as donald trump because we're in a primary. but the reality is, big picture, there are probably a lot more alike on policy than they are different. and desantis has one big difference that donald trump doesn't have. and that is he won re-election. and if he can focus on the fact that he has won

the general election policies seem to be 56 years old now. this policy has been announced.it was during the days when the representatives are busy amending the parliament election law, the parliament deleted a clause of this report that the commission had suggested that we reduce this time and reduce general policies. why should we change the six-month-old baby to two-month -old? until two months before the registration, the responsibility can be expected, and it can be expected that he will interfere in the field of elections in this position, god forbid, and the traces of this subject reached the guardian council, minimizing the ban on the participation of working volunteers also general policies follow this ban if this issue of resignation is not set as a task and i correct it, well, this section of policies seems to have not been considered well, at least in terms of the time limit, the volume has increased and the executive situation will also face problems. is the task of fully implementing the general election policies inheritance for the representatives of the next

margaret: what happens in a general election if it is trump v biden? charlie: then the election becomes a referendum on donald trump. margaret: a referendum on trump? charlie: yes. in normal circumstances, the general election is a referenm on the incumbent president. if it is any other republican, it will be a referendum on joe biden and his record and agenda, but if it is donald trump, it becomes reversed. the election becomes about donald trump, and that will determine what the turnout is, levels of enthusiasm. joe biden does not need to gin up enthusiasm if donald trump is on the ballot. the formula ifts. margaret: in 20 you voted for joe biden. in 20 24, if it is joe biden versus not donald trump, do you know who you would vote for? charlie: i don't know. i'd be pretty certain i would vote for joe biden so in order to get that republican nomination, you will have had to make so many compromises, so many moral compromises with a republican party that has become so extreme. the problem republicans have is not just donald trump. when donald trump lea
